Jory Twist of Newport Harbor Yacht Club leads for two days, but ends

up in fourth place for the U.S. Yacht Racing Union’s Sears Cup.

Twist wins two races on the first day to take the lead and turns in a

sixth and seventh place finish to barely hold on after day two.

But a premature start cost him the lead on day three, and Scott Elting

of Houston Yacht Club takes the Sears Cup on the final day.
