We liked this story so much, that we couldn't resist naming Avon's Jack Howard, 12, our Patchlete of the Week.

Howard, a sixth-grade Thompson Brook School student, is the "youngest sailor in Southern Massachusetts Sailing Association history to win the coveted Grand Prix Championship," according to an announcement reader Brian Kelly posted on Avon Patch.

Read the full story in this reader-submitted announcement:

  • Championship-winning Avon Sailor Sets Sights On U.S. National Team
