The 2024 US Match Racing Championship was hosted by the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco Bay, California, from October 4-6. Ten teams competed in J/22s for the Prince of Wales Bowl, each having earned their place through a series of qualifying events held earlier in the year. After a round-robin qualifier, quarter-finals and semi-finals, it was Pearson Potts’s team of Chase Quinn, Tim Siemers and Robert Savoie who were crowned 2024 USA Prince of Wales Match Racing Champion. They battled local World Women Match Racing Champion Nicole Breault from the host St. Francis YC for the title. After the first two races, the two teams had split winning races. Then, in the finale, Potts’s crew demonstrated flawless crew work and strong tactics to take the finale and win with a 2-1 record. Breault’s team included Molly Carapiet, Sam Reynolds and Will Paulsen. For more USA Match Race J/22 Championship information, visit https://www.matchracingresults.com/2024/usa-national-championships/.
