NEWPORT, RI - June 4, 2016 - After six days of intense racing, the U.S. Virgin Islands' Taylor Canfield and his US One team won the overall victory to become the World Match Racing Tour Newport champions. Today's final race was a dramatic match between US One and WAKA Racing, skippered by New Zealand's Phil Robertson. Newport, Rhode Island's "City by the Sea," served up sunny skies and ample wind to run the event's Semi-Finals and Finals, which ended with the victorious champagne spray aboard US One, in front of the crowd lining the shore at Fort Adams State Park. Canfield's team includes New Zealand sailors Haydon Goodrick and Chris Main and Australian sailor Ricky McGarvie. -Per Sail Newport.
