(Fort Lauderdale, FL)- With a time limit of 48 hours, the 29 starters for the 2021 Lauderdale to Key West Race were on the clock as light winds plagued the 155.0 nm course. In the end, it was a matter of perseverance.
In what has to be a "first" ever for any offshore race around the world, J/Teams won every division they entered. In ORC 2, Chris Lewis's J/44 KENAI continued their winning ways in the SORC Island in the Stream series. Second was Ashley Maltempo and Bill Wiggins's J/121 WINGS. In ORC 3, Andy Wescoat's J/109 HARM's WAY won and was the only finisher in their class. In PHRF Division, the Schaedler/ Taylor duo on the J/105 WHISTLER took the gold medal and were also the only finisher in their class. Congratulations to these crews that persevered, job well-done!
