‘It was a hell of a race,’ said Hill, explaining that Titan was ‘screaming’ both upwind and downwind in the predominately 16-20 knots of wind. ‘The conditions made for the best sailing we’ve had since putting the boat in the water.’

The 90-foot sloop Rambler and 82-foot Wally yacht Highland Fling both experienced equipment problems. Read the story at Sail-World.com
