F18 Worlds – strong racing
by Jake on Feb.22, 2007, under Miscellaneous
The F18 Worlds are really underway now. Our US teams are hanging in there! The team of Robbie Daniel and Hunter Stunzi (last year’s US SAILING Multihull Champions) are getting there groove on and recorded a high point 12th place finish today. This puts them in 10th overall because they’ve been so consistent. Team Tybee, John Casey and Kenny Pierce, finished several races in the mid 20′s but are still lugging around that 78 point DNF (did not finish) from the first race when their mainsheet let go. When the fleet gets to drop one low-score race, they should move up considerably. Ollie Jason and Pat Gilles were getting their game going when they broke a shroud pin and the mast fell down leaving them with THREE DNF’s for the day. Conditions are still rough!
