Miami Bacardi Cup
Posted on 14. Mar, 2010 by admin in recents
Team Rock Steady headed down to Miami to take part in Miami Bacardi Sailing Week, looking forward to some sunshine and great sailing. While the weather didn’t cooperate too much we did get in some good sailing. The team consisted of Seth as tactician, Beth on the bow, Ed trimming the kite and jib and Becky doing a little bit of everything.
We came out strong on day 1 with 2, 2, 3 finishes, putting us 1 point out of 1st. Day 2 was cut short due to an impending storm and we only got off 1 race unfortunately had a 6th place finish and were sitting 3rd after day 2. Going into day 3 we knew we had to have some killer races to keep our top 3 ranking but had some difficulties with winds blowing around 25mph and finished the day with a 7, 7, 7 and ended up 5th overall. We had some great team work and are improving and learning with every event, we just need to get our windy game on point and we will be set! Bacardi put on a great event with some great parties and we are looking forward to an even bigger turn out next year. Thanks again to Becky and Ed from Sail22 for some great sailing and as always big thanks to Seth and Beth.
Rock Steady is en route to Charleston where it will be stored until Charleston Race Week next month.
