(Richmond, CA)- One of the first major regattas of the summer sailing
season on San Francisco Bay is generally Richmond YC's Big Daddy
Regatta. Richmond is home to the famous J/125 DOUBLE TROUBLE, sailed by
co-owners Peter Kreuger and Andy Costello. Their boat has a full summer program, including Bay inshore regattas as well as offshore classics like the Spinnaker Cup (a race from San Francisco down the coastline to Monterey Bay) and the Santa Barbara- King Harbor Race (a race from Santa Barbara, out around the Channel Islands and down to King Harbor off southwest Los Angeles).
DOUBLE
TROUBLE started her inshore series this past weekend with a "bang".
With Peter Kreuger at the helm and his DOUBLE TROUBLE Big Boat Series
2012 winning crew all aboard, including tactician Jeff "Madro"
Madrigali. DT was blazing fast using her new North 3DI Inshore sail
Inventory.The team had great boat speed and solid boat-handling. Along with Madro's tactics their excellent team effort put them in the top spot with 6 points in the best of 3 series. They held off some other great teams, including the new MC 38 Whiplash and Big boat series winner from 2012 IRC B- TNT, the custom Tripp 43. For more on the J/125 DOUBLE TROUBLE's sailing escapades
