Posted on by

Eric Doyle/Payson Infelise and Paul Cayard/Brian Fatih in 18 knots

For the die-hard Star fans and sailors, we know the history of the Bacardi Cup. Why is the Bacardi Cup such a “Big Deal”? The Bacardi Cup and the Star World Championship are the two most important regattas on the Star Class Race Calendar and draw sailors from around the world. Very few class can claim such caliber and numbers of sailors.

Saturday marked the conclusion the 89th Annual Bacardi Cup in Miami, FL. 68 Teams finished the 6 day event. For a full regatta report written by Paul Cayard who incidentally finished 4th overall with crewman Brian Fatih, visit the Star Class website. Visit Paul’s sailing website to see other regatta reports as well.

Here are the podium winners:

German team of Robert Stanjek and Frithjof Kleen crowned as the winners of the Bacardi Cup with Italian team Diego Negri and Sergio Lambertenghi  finishing 2nd, finally, USA team Augie Diaz with Brazilian crewman Bruno Prada finishing 3rd overall.

Star Winter Series at Coconut Grove, Florida:

2016 Schoonmaker with Danny and Paul Cayard

2016 Schoonmaker Cup with Danny and Paul Cayard at Coral Reef Yacht Club Miami, FL

Danny and I are back in the Grove for more Star Racing. This time the Schoonmaker Cup with 20 other teams.

For this event, I am crewing for Danny. It has been fun to share the Star with him this past year and I hope he enjoys Star sailing for as many years as I and his grandfather have!

It’s been a while since I was in the front of a Star and today we had 3 races in 15 knots from the east. I will sleep well tonight!

We had some great moments and some more challenging moments. At the end of the first day, we are tied for 9th with Arthur Anosov, the winner of the Masters two weeks ago.

Augie Diaz and Arnie Baltins had a great day with a 2, 1, 1. Brian Cramer of Canada is in second and George Szabo third.
