Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta 2013 day #3

Another amazing day passed on board Cape Arrow, enjoying the warm Sardinian sun and racing @ the Loro Piana Super Yacht Regatta! 

The wind conditions were a little bit different that what was announced ("very light wind"), with  15-20 kts from North West. 

We went out on the water at 10.30 a.m. and we were happily informed  that the jury had chosen to group the three divisions (Cape Arrow is in the B one) all together, so that all the 21 yachts were racing following the same course. This latter was of 37 nm, passing by some of the most beautiful spots of the Maddalena Arcipelago, such as Isle of Lavezzi, Ilse of Spargi and Isle of Spargiotti. 

Cape Arrow started well, sailing for two boards close hauled to the wind; in the board where we should have gone on a close reach, we had some problems with the gennaker, so its lifting took us couple of minutes...unfortunately this little delay cost Cape Arrow some positions and we closed the day on the fifth place. 

We are still third overall of our division, let's see tomorrow, the last day of the Regatta, what we would do! Cape Arrow is not equipped as a 100% racing boat, but still she goes very fast...good job Cape Arrow and crew!
