MIAMI, FL (19 February 2025) - A balmy, 15 knot wind stirred the palm trees at the US Sailing Center of Miami for day three of the 2025 49er and 49erFX National Championship.
The crowd of 28 skiff racers gathered for the morning briefing was an exhibit of contrast: amongst the field of competitors the youngest are still in high school, moving up from top finishes in the 29er fleet to take the next step on the high performance pathway, while the oldest are stepping back into the 49er from recent experiences sailing the F50 in SailGP, and training with America's Cup teams in massive foilers.
Two teammates here have been racing together for over 20 years, while some have fewer than 20 days together.
The fleet is equal parts young guns, dreaming of one day campaigning for the Olympics, current Olympic campaigners, and returning veterans who are coming back to help the fleet grow and develop.
The latter group includes 2024 Olympic Bronze medalists in the 49er class, Ian Barrows and Hans Henken.
A growing sense of momentum in the fleet is tangible.
Final Standings
49er National Championship
1st Nicolas Muller & Mac Agnese (USA 118) - 18 points
2nd Jordan & Grant Janov (USA 132) - 29 points
3rd Ander & Danel Belausteguigoitia (MEX 1) - 30 points
49erFX National Championship
1st Logan Mraz & Ronan Curnyn (USA 8) - 20 points
2nd Pierce & Fynn Olsen (USA 42) - 22 points
3rd B Lindsay & Bella Casaretto (USA 7) - 25 points

Ivanhoe is a 54ft Aluminium sailing boat that is in total disrepair. I fly to Australia just to look this boat over and to see if it's the right project for us to take on. She was built as a flat-topped racing boat, then years later changes were made to convert her to a cruising boat but nothing was finished. For a few years now this beautiful boat has sat on a mooring, waiting for the right...
