2013 Leukemia Cup - Newport, RI - Results

2nd in Class among the Swan 42s (Class 2). After rounding 3rd at the weather mark, SRM led for much of the race. SRM and "Apparition" were in a neck and neck battle for over half the race. The last leg was a reach, and Apparition had an A3, while SRM has no reaching sails. Still, a small opportunity for SRM to win presented itself just a few hundred yards from the finish when the wind shifted over 90 degrees as a sea breeze filled in. Boats scrambled to get their kites down and jibs up. Apparition managed to hang on and win.
