Otra Vez wins Caribbean 600

[hayesrigging]

Bill Coates Ker 43, Otra Vez was first in class and seventh overall in the Caribbean 600 last week.  The boat has entered every race under the GBCA burgee.  It was a wild start 16 min before our start we broke three batten receptacles off the mast slides fixed the issue and started approx 40 min late.  Great race, very intense with very little sleeping.  Highlight was blasting along between 15-18 kts with masthead code zero and spin staysail for 90 miles covering that leg in 6 hrs.

Next up is Les Voiles in St Barths April 13-18th then the boat will be shipped to Barcelona for the ORC worlds.  This will be the first time an American boat has entered the ORC Worlds in over 10 years.

Getting old(Er), I completely missed this one.  Will have to be more careful in the future.

Great job.
