Final day of the 2015 IFJU FINS / FORMULA US EASTERN CHAMPIONSHIP
Another great day in Miami, the wind kicked in early and we where able to be on smaller sails, like 11´s. Same course as the other days but with a few more obstacles than the other days made racing challenging. In Miami on a Sunday all the boats come out and create some nasty chop and it can be challenging at times around the course. We had 3 races back to back and on the start boat we had a “pro” Drone Flyer, let me just say – he took some insane video, cannot wait to share it. When it comes to PR, they are really on their game here in Miami…
So back to racing, 3 races was completed and no big changes in the top. I took 3 bullets on the last day and young gun Ludovico came closer and closer to passing French Superstar, Loic Legallois, who clearly was on holiday as he missed out on the first race as he was busy paddle boarding somewhere else in Miami. However beeing consistent paid off for Loci and he could use the “missed” race as a drop. Further down the list racing was getting closer and closer between Ron Kern and Justin Ahearn, but Ron put the foot down and took 4th overall. The two Brothers in Crime , Alex Morales and Gonzalo Crivello was super close and it was at times intense between the two, but Gonzalo´s fitness made him come out of top…And a big congrats to Stacey, for being the only girl out there showing great skills.
It was 3 amazing days of racing and fun in the magic city.
