(PLTM) - Sam Morell of the BVI has been making strides in the USA, with top placements in several boating regattas.
Morrell’s most recent achievement was earning the silver medal, alongside his crew, in the US National Junior Team Racing Championship held in Rhode Island from August 19th-21st 2016.
He also placed 9th in the Buzzard’s Bay Regatta in New Bedford, Massachusetts earlier this month, which featured just under 200 other competitors. This competition saw Morrell and his crew posting a string of top 10 results for the top ranking placement. He placed just ahead of US Virgin Islander, Teddy Nicolosi.
Earlier this year in June, Morrell secured 1st place in the Sail Newport Regatta in Fort Adams, New Port aboard the J88 Jazz as tactician. He then went on to receive 3rd place at New York Race Week.
