Day 2 of SDYC’s Yachting Cup started with a bit of rain and overcast coastal skies. The race management team was concerned about the forecast conditions – specifically the sea state, which built as a result of an overnight offshore front. A race committee boat went out about 7:30am to check the conditions on both ocean courses; the decision was made to postpone racing by one hour, and to move both courses to more protected areas closer to shore. The J/105 fleet came down to the last leg of the last race. Bennet Greenwald & Dave Vieregg’s Perseverance held a 2-point lead going into the final race; however, last year’s overall winners Chuck and Stephen Driscoll on Juiced were not going down without a fight. “We knew we needed to put one boat between us and Perseverance going into the last race”, said Stephen Driscoll. We managed to get on the right side of a couple of shifts and pull off the win. It was a really challenging weekend, and we are really happy with our teamwork.” For event details, visit https://www.yachtingcup.com/.
