Today, first day of race!
Course n. 2 "Around the island - medium" of approx 20 miles was chosen to unveil the St Barth Bucket Race 2013.
Cape Arrow and the other "Mademoiselles, Gazelles e Grand dames de mer" raced pushed by light breezes around St Barth island leaving to port side Ile de Boulanger, Ile Pelè and Ile Fourchue.
We are very satisfied about our perfomance which is reflected by a good third place, just two seconds after P2 and by our elapsed time close to those of larger yachts such as Zefira and Lady B.
Tomorrow "Not so wiggle course" is scheduled. A much more technical course out of islands to the North West of St Barth. We will have to work and trim a lot, but day n° 2 will be a promise of fun and strong competition.
Today evening: dock party and fleet open house.
Welcome onboard of Cape Arrow!
