(Miami, FL)- The second Miami to Havana Race fleet started on March
15th, Wednesday, off Miami, Florida. Hosted by the Coral Reef Yacht
Club and Hemingway International Yacht Club of Cuba, along with SORC as
Race Committee, they sent the horses down the track and across the Gulf
Stream to Havana, Cuba on a nice windy day.
It
was a pretty fast race overall. The fastest J/crew down that trail took
just 24 hours to get there in a 160nm+ race. Taking 2nd in PHRF A
Class and 3rd overall was Frank Atkinson’s J/125 RAISIN CANE with a
corrected time of 1:04:46:31, missing out on first overall by just 30
minutes. A gybe here, a gybe there, that was all the difference.In PHRF 2 Class, Gary Weisberg’s crew from Marblehead, MA sailed their J/111 HEAT WAVE fast & furious, finishing in a corrected time of 1:06:23:55 to take 2nd in class and 4th overall.
