Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht Regatta and Rendezvous Final Results

With Indio and Hanuman both heading into the final day of racing equal on points with a win each, it was sure to be a great days racing. The wind was lighter than the previous two days with only 10kts of an easterly breeze. Race officer Peter Craig went for a mark course, making for a challenging competition for the boats tacticians . The yachts would start in Virgin Sound and from there the fleet would be sent east to a windward mark, then out on a reach to a gybe mark before heading west to the Dog Islands, and back up to a finish line set in Sir Francis Drake Channel between Seal Dog and Nail Bay. Indio finished first on corrected time claiming the overall top spot, with Hanuman in second and P2 in third. Next year is already shaping up to be another great regatta hopefully with Indio and Hanuman returning to do battle.

Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht Regatta and Rendezvous Day 2 Results

The competition is heating up with the J Class Hanuman taking first place on corrected time followed by Indio in day 2 of racing. This leaves the two yachts with one win each going into the final day of racing, in what will shape up to be a great battle. Hanuman has most of the pressure having won the regatta last year and now trying to retain the title.

The race officer Peter Craig selected a counter-clockwise course for day 2 from the start line just off Necker Island, sending the fleet round the Dogs followed by Round Rock and a long leg along the southern side of Virgin Gorda before a final short downwind sprint from Pajaros Point back to the finish. Everyone is looking forward to day 3 and the course he will select but for now its is time for some downtime for the owners and crew to relax in the beautiful surroundings of the North Sound.
