Mutineer National Championship 2021
Tampa Sailing Squadron
Apollo Beach, Florida The 2021 Mutineer National Championship was organized by Mutineer Fleet 18 at its Tampa Sailing Squadron headquarters from November 8 – 12. A total of 17 Mutineers raced with 7 skippers from Colorado, 1 from Wisconsin, 1 from North Carolina and 7 from Florida. After practice races on Tuesday, the regatta began on Wednesday with a series of five races in moderate winds. Thursday races began in moderate winds that became extremely shifty and then tapered to zephyrs and then to calm as Tampa Bay’s offshore and onshore breezes battled to a draw with the arrival of a high pressure system. The high pressure system dominated again on Friday with the day’s races abandoned after a 2-hour postponement due to no winds. So, a total of 8 races decided the winners for the Gold and Silver Classes with awards going to the first 5 places in each.
