MINOPRIO and his team were especially happy with their win over Pierre-Antoine MORVAN (FRA), who has an ISAF ranking of 18. And New Zealanders are always happy when they come out ahead of an Australian team, this time Tovar MIRSKY.
MIRSKY is in good position to challenge the leaders with second place record of 8-2, with Pierre-Antoine MORVAN close behind. Really close finishes in the middle of the pack attest to the fierce competition. Martin ANGSELL (SWE) and Dave PERRY (USA), are tied at 6-4 each, followed by a three-way tie between Jesper FELDT (DEN), Brian ANGEL (USA) and Scott DICKSON (USA).
There is enough racing left before we can give BlackMatch a landslide victory, and with MIRSKY, MORVAN, ANGSELL and PERRY eager to topple MINOPRIO, racing is going to get pretty heated before this Cup series is over.
Tropical Depression Ernesto plans to pay an uninvited visit to the Knickerbocker Cup early tomorrow morning, and with winds about 20 and predicted gusts to 45-50 knots, it looks like racing will be cancelled in the morning. If the weather predictions are accurate, the Race Committee may be able to get in a few races by late afternoon when the winds should subside somewhat.
