Todays very breezy coastal distance race proved just what the BELLA team needed to really sail the right angles and use their sail inventory to their advantage. The superstar of the day seemed to be the fractional Code Zero which was the perfect powerhouse that they needed to seal the win on corrected time.
Perhaps the guys also wanted the win today since tonight activity is a multi-team dinner with the Ran crew and their owners. These two teams have now matched up in the US, Bermuda, Spain and now here – and have formed a nice camaraderie between teams. I’m sure there will be much celebrating with today’s success, knowing tomorrow is a no-racing lay day. Back on Friday for the second coastal race and hopefully a repeat performance.
