It was a family affair at the top of the leaderboard for the 2025 J/22 Midwinter Championship hosted by Rush Creek Yacht Club in Heath, TX. Chris Doyle led The Jug 4 1 team including brother Peter Doyle and son Nick Doyle.

They opened the event with a 6, and only improved from there, ending the seven-race one-discard series with 16 net points. Local favorite Jeff Progelhof's Schitzen Giggles with wife Erin and Eric Hemker claimed the runner-up position at 22 points. Alex and Mike Schwinn's Tilt took the bronze at 26 points.

The Championship got off to a sporty start on Friday when gusty winds challenged the fleet, allowing only one race. Mother Nature calmed down for the weekend, as four races were completed Saturday and two on Sunday.

Overall Results: (top five)

1. Chris Doyle, The Jug 4 1, Youngstown YC, 16 points
2. Jeff Progelhof, Schitzen Giggles, Rush Creek YC, 22 points
