Clearwater, FL (April 9, 2003) –
Matt Struble & WF Oliver continue their early
dominance by taking 3 more bullets, 6 for 6 over the first 2 days!
Another day of steady 13 to 18 knot
breezes kept competitors on the water until almost 8pm as PRO Fairlie
Brinkley cranked off 6 more races after an almost 2 hour weather delay.
Places 2 through 5 in the standings are only separated by 6 points. Race 12
saw many lead changes with Tomko/Murray gaining
on the downwind legs and Lambert/Livingston & Pitt/Shafer getting it back on
the upwind legs. In the end Tomko/Murray
managed to pass on the final upwind to steal 2nd away from
Pitt/Shafer.
The action is scheduled to get under way
at 1000 hours 4/9/3 unless the predicted thunderstorms show up. PRO
Brinkley kept the racers on the water late, but with 12 races under his belt
Brinkley can cancel racing for the day if necessary and still split the
competitors into gold and silver fleets for the head to head racing of the
finals. Or, if the weather is good, he can get in 4 more races and make the
cut after 16. |
