RELATIVE OBSCURITY Dominates Bacardi J/70 Winter Series II Regatta!

(Miami, FL)- The seventh edition of the Bacardi J/70 Winter Series II Regatta kicked off last weekend with forty-one teams pointing their bows across the starting line on the gorgeous aquamarine waters of Biscayne Bay.

Winning with relative ease was ex-J/70 World Champion Peter Duncan’s RELATIVE OBSCURITY with a World Championship-level crew of Jud Smith, Willem van Waay, and Victor Diaz de Leon. Their 1-6-3-1-12-1-4-1-DNC in the nine-race series was good enough to not sail the final, take the DNC drop race, and still win by 10 pts net! An impressive return to the class for Senor Duncan after a few year’s hiatus.

Second was the British ex-J/70 World Champion team of Charles Thompson’s BRUTUS III- Chris Grube, Ben Saxton, Marina Cano-soster, and Doug Rastello. Their 7-16-7-3-9-2-2-8-1 scoreline was good enough for 39 pts net.

To round out the podium in third place was Cate Muller-Terhune’s CASTING COUCH. She and her husband Alan have been sailing consistently well in the past year. They started with a leading tally of 3-1. Then, added a 10-11-5-3-3-6-10 to end the series with 41 pts net! A great showing in this talented fleet for this husband/ wife team!

The balance of the top five was David Jannetti’s TWO ODD in 4th place and Dick Kalow’s SUPERIOR 1 in fifth place.
