Archipelago Raid
by Jake on Jun.18, 2008, under Racing!
While I was stuck without being able to update the website, the Archipelago raid was sailed and finished this morning. The French team, Team Kalix, Eric Proust and Romain Motteau win the event this morning with a score of 257 points and by finishing first at the last two checkpoints (earning 25 points each). Team Thule, Strandberg and Ortendahl, finished 2nd with 244.5 points. Our British friends, Team X-Leisure (Sunnucks/Farren) finish in third with 231 points.
The event saw a broad range of weather conditions – some days were incredible days of sailing with 15knots of breeze and the ninth leg was canceled after two hours of “sailing” due to a lack of wind.
