Gnarly Start and Only Two Casualties
The surf was pretty tough and most of the fleet did just fine getting through it, except for Velocity 3. The drifted to shore, straightened things up and headed back out, losing around 10 minutes.
Another boat capsized farther out . It was Velocity 2. They got it upright, did a man overboard drill and started off, then capsized again.
Meanwhile Mischa Heemskerk on the Wildcat zoomed off to a huge lead right off the start.
Stay tuned for the finish in Jupiter. Be sure to check the Live Tracking and the Live Streaming Video. One the links to the right side of the page are the links to those and many other sites.
The Start Could be a Challenge
Winds are expected to be around 20 mph and higher today from the east. That means the surf is up and the wind is right on the nose. Busting out through the waves may be a challenge for the sailors today.
Racing is very close in time and still it is anybody's for the taking. Some of the fleet are a couple hours behind already, but the top 10 are all in the hunt.
Be sure to watch the Streaming Live Video by Tad Pecorak as he will be on the beach shooting the start. There you can watch the thrills and spills of the start LIVE.
