35s5 First again!
And with a female skipper!
"The Charleston Ocean Racing Association's annual Witches' Brew regatta was raced in the harbor Oct. 30. As with its Femme Fatale race in the spring, CORA requires a female skipper for each boat in the Witches' Brew. Though Charleston has produced many outstanding female sailors, as noted often in this column, the big boats seem to almost always have men at the helm. These two races do a lot to promote women's participation and demonstrate their skills. Deb Campeau skippered Hoodoo, a J/109, to first place in the A fleet. Caroline Byrd was at the helm of the J/24 Footloose and won the B fleet. Kristy Kowert skippered Andiamo, a Beneteau 35s5, to first place in C, and Judy Fair-child was at the helm of Absolu, another 35s5 Beneteau, and took the honors in D fleet." RB 35s5 NY |
