(San Diego, CA)- The second installment of San Diego YC’s famous Hot Rum
Series took place last weekend, just one more to go! There were a lot
of position changes for various teams going up and down the standings as
they navigated the waters of San Diego Harbor and the Pacific Ocean off
the majestic Point Loma. Again, the conditions were generally
favorable to the bigger boats starting later in the PHRF “pursuit-style”
race, as they started with more wind than the earlier slower boats.In PHRF Class 2, Ernie Pennell’s J/120 MAD MEN sailed another good race to score a 2-7 so far and hang in for a 2nd place in the series lead. Just behind them is Rudy Hasl’s J/120 HASL FREE with a 6-6 for 12 pts. Then, third J/120 is Chuck Nichols’ CC RIDER with a 9-8 for 17 pts.
The J/105s seem to rule the roost in PHRF Class 4. Leading the fleet is Dennis Case’s J/105 J-OK with a 4-2 for 6 pts. Third is Erostino Dagfish’s VIGGEN with a 6-5 for 11 pts. Fourth is Steve Wyman’s J/70 NUNUHUNU with a 2-10 for 12 pts. And, sitting is 5th place is Donica & Scott Ryder’s J/105 SANITY with a 14-1 for 15 pts.
Finally, in PHRF Class 5, David Cattle’s classic J/27 BLACKADDER is hanging tight, in a three-way tie for 4th place with a 4-6 for 10 pts. And, they are just 5 pts off the lead. So, anything can literally happen in the next race for this class! Sailing photo credits- Bronny Daniels/ JOY Sailing.com. For more Hot Rum Series sailing information Add to Flipboard Magazine.
