This week we have a little Bacardi Cup wrapup. Florida’s Bacardi Cup is one of the gathering places of the sport’s elite, in particular Star boat sailors and J/70 sailors. There were some notable performances by PNW. In the Stars Derek DeCouteau and Jamie Stewart were 43rd and in the J/70s, Andrew and Mallory Lowe plus Ben and Jen Glass were 12th overall and second among Corinthians (non-pro). Results. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of sailing action in this video, but there’s enough to make most of us wish we were there. I’m really hoping to have some video bubble up from local races in the coming weeks.
