Newport, RI June 9, 2012- Although Rives Potts' 'Carina' was boat of the Day in the NYYC Annual Regatta Blue Fleet and Andrew Weiss' 'Christopher Dragon' was boat of the Day in the White Fleet, the two stand 7th and 16th in the early Onion Patch rankings.
Top slots after the day's only scheduled Onion Patch race went to the US Naval Academy TP52 'Invictus' skippered by Ralph Duffett, The Bermuda entry 'Nasty Medicine' sailed by Stephen Sherwin and Jim Madden's Stark Raving Mad. Results are posted at http://www.onionpatchseries.com/.
Sailing was tricky sailing Saturday in Newport with shifty light winds under an overcast sky. The sea breeze never quite came to stay.
Please see the website for the results of the NYYC Annual Regatta.
