Podium Finishes for Open 6.50s in Border Run

Nik
Two of the three Open 6.50s racing in the Border Run finished on the podium in the PHRF Light B class. After racing 70 miles “Crash” and “Chupacabra” were involved in a tacking duel to the finish with “Crash” coming out on top to take 2nd place in the class only 41 seconds ahead!

This was the first over night race for the Southern California Fleet of Open 6.50s and despite the light winds (none of the boats saw more than 12 knots) all 3 boats were very competitive.

You can see the full results on the Border Run website and there are a few galleries of photos from the event here and here.

The next race for the Open 6.50s is the Berger #3 on May 8th – a 35 mile windward leeward race to Pt. Dume and back.
