Zhik F18 Americas Continental @Sarasota: Day 3

Images F18 Americas FB. – 4 more races today. Larsen-van West with a 2 point lead over Easton-Burd. Reiss-Whitehead 3rd. Arg Faustin-Aragonés with two OCS. Pity as they were 4 & 5, nevertheless still in 11th overal and much to go. Their mates Smith-Heuser put pedal to the metal to score a perfect 7,5,3,1 progression ending with a bullet to end the day 5th overall, great day for them.

Sandra Tartaglino and Annie Gardner keeping the pace in 12th & 13th respectively.

6 Races pending so anything can happen. Larsen will put his experience to take the first Americas Continental to the Netherlands, but US  Easton and Reiss will make him push the limits to hold them back.

Dennis Key & Matt McDonald on the Falcon up to grab 14th position
Great event at Sarasota Sailing Squadron, and we hope to hold next Continental event in Buenos Aires in 2015/2016 along the Worlds the local class is pursuing to organize.
