In a race like the Worrell, you need a skipper and crew with vast sailing experience. Time on a catamaran is essential. And trips dashing up the East Coast is a mega bonus. So to say Team Rudee’s is once again aiming at victory is an almost criminal understatement. Skipper Randy Smyth is a five-time Worrell winner, a two-time Olympic silv
In a race like the Worrell, you need a skipper and crew with vast sailing experience. Time on a catamaran is essential. And trips dashing up the East Coast is a mega bonus. So to say Team Rudee’s is once again aiming at victory is an almost criminal understatement. Skipper Randy Smyth is a five-time Worrell winner, a two-time Olympic silver medalist and world champion, and on and on. On the trapeze with Smyth is Sarasota, Fla., native Dalton Tebo - a real up-and-comer in the sailing world.

The Worrell 1000 2022 was true to form. Though unusual for all 13 teams that started to finish, it was exceptionally rare in the face of the pretty bad hand thrown at them by Mother Nature - both boat and sailors took the brunt of every condition imaginable. Home Team favorite Team Rudee’s finished third overall, winning a record seven legs to go with a pair of seconds and a third. “We won more legs and that proves that had we not had mechanical issues (a broken mast) that we easily would have won this,” said team manager Mike Eason. “But it’s sailing and I couldn’t ask for a better team.”

Born in 1974 in a bar owned by race founder Michael Worrell and his brother Chris, the Worrell 1000 is a challenging dash up the coast from Florida to Virginia Beach that many have called insanity. Once sailed non-stop, the race now features daily, overnight checkpoints that bring to reality Worrell’s dream to attract considerably more media and social attention. At one time feared dead in the water, this year’s restart features 17 teams - one of the largest fields in history - from six countries. And even with all of today’s technology, the Worrell strains the mental and physical limits of its competitors and their tiny two-hulled sailboats.
