It was a complete 10 race one throw-out series for Premier Racing's Acura Miami Grand Prix regatta with beautiful sailing conditions over four days. J/122 ‘Teamwork’ and J/44 ‘Gold Digger’ each tallied multiple race wins in the series and finished 2nd and 3rd respectively in the final standings of IRC Class 2. Ironically it was the tie in race 7 between these two J/s and the extra .5 point that ultimately proved to be the difference in preventing the J/122 crew from wrestling the series away. It is about as close as it gets to a win. Congratulations to Robin Team and crew on Teamwork and to Jim Bishop and his always competitive J/44 Gold Digger crew.IRC 2 (6 entries)
