How
did Carina do all that? A lot of people have
been asking this question at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club since Rives
Pottss 48-foot sloop finished the Bermuda Race on Tuesday morning
and, that evening, became the winner of the St. Davids Lighthouse
Division.
That
refers to two things. First theres Carinas domineering
victory margin of more than three and a half hours. To put this in
perspective,
in Class 4 the top 10 places fit under a tent of only three hours, with
first-place Windborns margin over second-place Lapin
exactly 11 seconds. Then theres this: Carina had all …

"While the focus of attention has been on the big, Open Division boats, Carina, a Class 3 McCurdy & Rhodes 48 skippered by Rives Potts, appears to have made the most of the Gulf Stream. At 15:00 EDT today, Carina was an incredible 60 miles ahead of Triple Lindy, the next boat in her class, and is now within 300 nautical miles of Bermuda. This is the biggest lead in any class at this time."
