Antigua Racing Cup Day 3 video highlights: Squalls, Sunshine & Sparkling Racing

The penultimate day of racing at the Antigua Racing Cup was delayed due to allow a big rain squall to pass through. The wind speed and direction was in a state of flux all day. The first race of the day started in sub-ten knots. Sunshine and cloud cover added complexity all day and another dimension to racing at the Antigua Racing Cup.

 

The one-race discard kicked in for CSA 2, 3 and 4 who had two races today. Their combat zone was predominantly windward leeward legs between the iconic Antiguan landmark Shirley Heights and the entrance to Falmouth Harbour.

 

The race area included a reaching leg offshore, giving a variety of wind angles.
