Too Windy

Bacardi Cup

Strong winds in Biscayne Bay resulted in the postponement of the second days racing at the Bacardi Cup.

Two races are now scheduled on Tuesday, March 6, weather permitting.

"The conditions today were 20 knots, with gusts of over 25 knots," explained Principal Race Officer Dr. Bill Smoak. "This was not a safe racing environment for the sailors, therefore we canceled today's race."

Mark Reynolds and crew Magnus Liljedahl lead after Sunday's opening race.
