K2 Wins 2025 St. Pete Sailing World Regatta
Jeff Padnos’ team on K2 returned to Michigan after winning the S2 7.9 Midwinter Championship. As the class winner, Padnos’ victory also secured his team the overall regatta title and a spot in the Helly Hansen Caribbean Championship in October.
The 12-boat S2 7.9 fleet had close racing throughout Friday and Saturday, with K2 ultimately securing the Midwinter title. The competition was tight, with boats clustered at marks and overlapping at finishes.
Padnos, who has been racing S2 7.9s for four decades, will now prepare to compete in the championship on a Sunsail-provided bareboat against other Regatta Series winners.
