Leadership Change on Day Two at Bacardi Invitational
Miami, FL - March 8, 2024 - It was another intense day of racing in fantastic conditions on Biscayne Bay at the 97th Bacardi Cup and Bacardi Invitational Regatta. The usual shifty breeze was around 8-10 knots with plenty of race track nuances.
All changed on Day Two with Peter Karrie’s Nefeli topping the Melges 24 fleet.
After three more races, bringing the total of completed races to 6, Karrié holds the lead position from their assertive 2,3,1 performance, working their way through tough opposition to displace overnight leaders Kingspoke helmed by Bora Gulari. Bruce Ayres’ Monsoon rounded out the top three.
Sandra Askew’s ‘Flying Jenny’ team delivered an escalation in form and claimed the limelight with two wins to climb up the leaderboard to fourth.
It was a game changing day for some and still a mountain to climb for others as tomorrow, Saturday, March 9, marks the final fight for the podium.
