Competitors at Chicago Yacht Club’s Verve Cup Offshore enjoyed three great days of racing on Lake Michigan. The 13-boat J/105 fleet saw a battle between Jon Weglarz and Richie Stearns. After six races, both Weglarz’s THE ASYLUM team and Stearns’ FIVE team were tied at 14 points each. THE ASYLUM posted a 1-2-2-7-1-1 tally, while FIVE had a 2-6-1-1-2-2 record. Winning the countback was Weglarz’s team (Sean Wilson, Tim Kohler, Joe Saccone, Danielle Fruin and Andy Vincent). Losing that countback to settle for the silver was Stearns’s crew (Lori Stearns, Joe Kestler, Marci Grunert, Freya Olsen and Augie Hernandez). Taking the bronze was Clark Pellet’s SEALARK with crew of Ned Sher, Sonny Jenema, John Songin and Russ Radke. The balance of the top five included John Kalanik’s PURA VIDA in fourth and Mark Fruin’s NYCTOSAUR in fifth.
