Larson and Spaulding win twice

For a team doing a part-time Olympic campaign in the highly-demanding 49er skiff class, Americans Morgan Larson and Pete Spaulding are doing pretty well. After winning a nailbiter of a Medal Race at Miami Rolex OCR Regatta, they just edged out the British team Stevie Morrison and Ben Rhodes for Gold. And to prove it was no fluke the Larson/Spaulding duo dominated the follow-on regatta, the North American Championships, winning with a race to spare. Not bad for a helmsman that is full-time training with the Swedish America's Cup campaign Victory Challenge in Valencia and Dubai, and not bad for a crew who is completing his studies at Purdue University, Indiana...
