St. Petersburg, FL – Anthony Kotoun, frequent Melges 32 Class sailor aboard John Taylor’s Ninkasi, rescued the sole occupant of a single engine aircraft that lost power on final approach to St. Petersburg’s Albert Whitted Airport on Monday morning at 10:30 AM.  Kotoun was on the water training Para-Olympic competitors when pilot Nancy Schofield ditched her Cessna after the engine cut-out short of the runway and off the breakwater from the St. Petersburg Sailing Center and St. Petersburg Yacht Club.
