That’s a wrap for BACARDI Miami Sailing Week (March 10-12), with five events enjoying Bacardi hospitality and mostly strong winds. On the VX One course, one team managed to run away with the championship title despite the dynamic conditions on the race course. Winner Marcus Eagan took the lead on day one of racing and continued to dominate the fleet throughout the weekend. Crew member Andrew Eagen (USA 177) said “the biggest challenge we thought we would face this week was sailing three up. This was the first time we have ever sailed with three people in the boat, but because it was so windy it definitely worked to our advantage. Having an extra set of eyes that could tell us what was going on out on the race course was a huge help.”
