Melges 24 Charleston

At Key West Race Week, Jessica K. on Kolius’s boat had a 9 and 12 to drop to 8th place overall. Guy Mossman took at two 27s to drop to 26th overall. Hamilton’s boat, chartered by some Europeans, continued to wallow in last place. Chris assures me that his boat is very fast. It was flying at the North Americans in Annapolis.

Only Amy Ironmonger seems to be swimming upstream. With two 2nd place finishes, her “Blu Moon” crew is just 2 points out of 1st place. Chris Rast, the skipper, has a very impressive racing record. My money is on Rast to win the week with consistent top 5 finishes.
