A Clean Start Good Breeze and they are Off
Canadian Peter Blunden’s Life of Rilley led the way across the start line of the 4th Antigua Bermuda Race in brisk East winds. A fleet of 6 boats will make their way up the 935-mile course to Bermuda. The scratch boat in the monohull divisions is Stefan Jentzsch’s Botin 56 Black Pearl, the second-place finisher in this season's RORC Transatlantic Race. The likely boat for line honours is Californian Tod Slyngstad’s HH 66 catamaran, Nemo. Others in the fleet include Nova Scotian Ray Rhinelander’s Bella J, and repeat competitors Kevin McLaughlin’s Rye and Richard Dumas sailing Tim Wilson’s El Oro.
