Congratulations to
Ken Read, a multiple J/24 World Champion, for winning the Trans-Atlantic Race on the VOR 70 PUMA- Mar Mostro!
PUMA’s Mar Mostro was the second boat to cross the finish line at
Lizard Point, Cornwall, England behind RAMBLER 100 and won both IRC
Class 1 and IRC overall based on corrected time. At one point topping
30 knots as they flew across the Atlantic in just over 7 days, Kenny
simply remarked, “We entered the race with zero expectations, just like
the other IRC handicap racing we’ve done this year. We wanted to learn
the boat and the crew. Now, here we are in the position of possibly
winning a race that we didn’t expect to win. We’re pleasantly shocked.
We didn’t break anything, the sails held up, the team is certainly
coming together, and there’s not a single negative to this race. It was a
great experience.” To follow the PUMA Mar Mostro Sailing Team visit-
