TUUCI Racing Clinches M32 Miami Winter Series Event 2 before Final Race

TUUCI Racing sealed a decisive victory in Event No. 2 of the M32 Miami Winter Series on Biscayne Bay, wrapping up the regatta before the scheduled final race after winning the first three races on the final day. The result leaves Cy Thompson’s crew at the top of the February standings with 45 total points across three days.

Driver Cy Thompson and tactician Lucas Calabrese led a five-deep crew that also included John Wallace, C.T. Olander, and Charlie McHugh. TUUCI’s day-by-day totals were 12 on Day 1, 15 on Day 2, and 18 on Day 3. On Day 1 the team’s race finishes read 2, 1, 4, 3, 2 for a 12-point haul that put TUUCI in the early lead and set up the late charge that clinched the regatta.

YoungBlood, skippered by Miles Julien, finished second in the February event with 51 points. Surge, with Ryan McKillen at the helm, finished third with 57 points. Rated X and Midtown tied in the middle of the fleet with 67 points apiece, while Dingbat, Pursuit, and Final Final rounded out the leaderboard with 69, 81, and 104 points respectively.

The February victory builds on TUUCI’s recent successes; the program entered the winter series off the back of the M32 North American Championship title from last season. That momentum was on display in Miami where steady starts, clean mark roundings, and tactical work on the shifts produced the string of results that made the late-day sweep possible.

Dougan Clarke, founder of TUUCI, praised the crew’s effort: “We could not be prouder of this group,” said Dougan Clarke. “They represent everything we value as a brand: teamwork, resilience, respect for the elements, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Watching them perform together, harnessing the wind, is incredibly special.”

For local racers and fans, the result tightens the winter series narrative. YoungBlood’s January victory and TUUCI’s February turnaround underline how quickly standings can swing across back-to-back events, and they make each heat on Biscayne Bay a live contest for bragging rights and series points.
