The Charles P. Manchee trophy race for cruising boats was finally held today after two postponements due to inclement weather. This was a point to point race around Sandy and Garden Cays off of Man-O-War. There was a crew of 4 on board
Sunrise with the west wind beginning higher than predicted, but then turning to the north and becoming lighter than expected. The start of the race was really close and that is

This is what they look like next to the Abaco Rage...
They made it around the islands before most of the boats had a chance to make it there, so Sunrise was in better air, before it eased.
You can tell the guys are concentrating!
When the handicaps were tallied they came in 2nd place. They certainly are consistent!
Thanks again to Will Heyer for the great photos.
