Final Results!

Division A

There are some very tight races going on. In division a it looks like Cheryl & Ken Sears J-160 "Blue"  have a lock on first,  but second and third are up for grabs.  Only two points separate Sans Souci II, Intuition, and Bright Star for second and third.

Update: Blue wins, Sans Souci II second, Intuition third

Division B

J-World #5 first, J-Wolrd #2 second, J-World #4 third
 

Division C

Humu Humu and Our Shangri-La are tied for first. Strange noises from Humu Humu tonight as they sacrifice to the big wind gods ...

Update: The wind came up and Humu Humu damaged a sail ... Our Shangri-La wins, L'Obsession second, Humu Humu third

Division D

Talion, Cupcake, Di's Dream and Destiny all have a shot at first. Destiny, Di's Dream, and Red Witch II are virtually tied, the top three are too close to call.

Update: A virtual three way tie for first! Final order Cupcake first, Destiny second, Talion third

Division F

Very close racing on the water on day 3! Befana and Kievit finished overlapped after a match race on the final beat to finish.

Befana first, Kievit second, Nirvana third

Division G

40-Love leads Nirvana by 1 point and About Time II is within striking distance

Update: 40-Love holds on to first with a win, Nirvana second, About Time II third

Division H

Moondance has all but got first tied up. Charissa, Saber Vivir, and Dos Amantes all have a chance at the win. Day two saw these 4 boats correct out within 2 minutes of each other, Saber Vivir, Charissa, and Dos Amantes corrected out with 25 seconds of each other!

Update: Moondance is a triple winner! First in the Boat Parade, First in Division and First time racing! Charissa second and Saber Vivir third.

Sailing in Paradise

Wow!  Banderas Bay and the thermal came through in a big way today. Great sailing breeze up to 18 knots provided a challenge to our fleet of cruisers.

I'm sailing my 1975 Catalina 30 Befana in the Plastic Classic Division and we had a great time even though we put a spreader through a new sail ... hey, its racing. Like many boats in BBR we sailed with pick-up crew and we played it conservatively ... not making mistakes was the goal  we are not rock stars or spring chickens!

We had a great time and I've cornered the market on Ibuprophin to get us through the next two days.

Taking the sail in to PV Sailing for repair meant that I missed the Tequila Party, I'm sure that everyone had a great time at Los Arroyos Verdes and Befana's crew hopes that her competition is still hung over for tomorrow's racing.

We would love to hear from other boats and from the people at the party ... just send us a report/review and we'll see that it gets published.

Wednesday's Start Your Heart Out and Practice Race Day gave BBR sailors a taste of what is to come in the next three days. Great breeze and perfect sailing conditions!

We're looking forward to the Boat Parade before the first race today and the Tequila Party at Los Arroyos Verdes tonight. The forecast is for breeze on today!
