Cal Pals, SWRS Detroit Regatta Champs

We caught up with Paul and Ross Nuechterlein’s team on Never Alone to learn what makes these old friends make their old boat go so fast.

At the Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta Series in Detroit, he Cal 25s raced Saturday and Sunday only. The fleet was small but mighty but no match for the expertise of the father/son team of Paul and Ross Nuechterlein’s Never Alone. With Paul on the bow and Ross on the helm, they got around the racecourse fast and clean, winning all but the final race. Their class win put them in the running for the regatta’s overall title and a berth at the Caribbean Championship, and at the end of the day, the team earned the berth for the championship in the BVI in October where they will race against the regatta series’ other winners in charter raceboats provided by Sunsail.

We caught up with the team after their win, and confident they’ll be an excellent addition to the Caribbean Championship lineup.
