Charleston Race Week at Patriots Point concluded with two races on Sunday with winners crowned in 18 classes. It was an action-packed regatta with the three circles located on Charleston Harbor completing between seven and 10 races. Among the one-design winners was skipper Andrew Graff and Exile, which won three races and placed second in three others to top the J/88 fleet. Graff had the luxury of throwing out a third and finished with nine points, six less than veteran skipper Iris Vogel and Deviation. This was the first class victory in seven attempts at Charleston Race Week for Graff, a Chicago resident. Exile had finished second several times. “We got great starts and did a good job of changing gears. The shifts were really quick so you had to change gears a lot in terms of trimming, steering and crew weight,” Graff said. “This team has been together for quite a while and that helps. Everyone knows their job.” Kris Werner trimmed the main and called tactics on Exile with Miranda Madden (bow), Luke LeCoche (bow), Graham Eger (spinnaker trimmer) & Scott Eisenhardt (jib trimmer) making up the rest of the crew.
