2009 12 Metre World Championship
Comments Off
Here is a nice image from Amory Ross of Victory taken yesterday off Newport.
There were no surprises in the finishes posted by the 17 Twelves who completed only a single race Thursday at the 2009 12 Metre World Championship. After sailing out to the old America’s Cup racecourse off Brenton Point, the wind speed took a nosedive as it changed direction from WSW to NNW, leaving the competitors drifting for close to two hours. With one race completed, the four divisions were given a combined start for the Candy Store Cup, sending them on a course back into Newport Harbor to the finish line at Bannister’s Wharf. The wind, however, continued to be uncooperative and the race was abandoned when the Twelves were unable to make the time limit for the race.
They are going to have wind today.
