Local boat Jim Vos\u2019 RP37 Warthog finished fourth in the first race, breaking a winning streak, in which they had taken five of the previous six races. However, the competition in this class is so tight that she missed out on second place by only 21 seconds. Their second race, however, was less tightly contested, with almost six minutes separating the first four boats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Rigby\u2019s chartered J\/122 El Ocaso \u00a9 Paul Wyeth\/pwpictures.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Katy Campbell\u2019s Salona 45 Panacea X took line honours for the second time this week in today\u2019s first race for CSA Racing Class 4, but dropped to third on corrected time in an impressively close finish. Carlo Falcone\u2019s 47ft IOR racer Caccia Alla Volpe took their fifth consecutive race win, ahead of Patrick Holloran\u2019s First 40.7 Caipirinha. Again margins were super close, with Falcone achieving victory by only 21 seconds, while the next three boats were a scant 18 seconds apart on corrected time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe were sailing extra shorthanded today, with only nine on board, so we\u2019re pretty happy &#8211; the boat goes better with 12 crew,\u201d says Campbell. \u201cI&#8217;m really proud of the team for pulling out all the stocks today and it helps that we had stronger winds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThree of the team are girls from Antigua\u2019s Y2K (Youth to Keelboat) programme who&#8217;ve been absolutely phenomenal,\u201d she adds. \u201cThey&#8217;re running our trim team and to see the growth and progression in their skillset is fantastic \u2013 they\u2019ve gone from needing detailed instruction to taking ownership of their jobs.
