DAY 1
Giovanni Soldini's Multi70 Maserati (ITA) was leading the Multihull Class four hours into the race, followed by Peter Cunningham's PowerPlay and Jason Carroll's Argo (USA). Dmitry Rybolovlev's ClubSwan 125 Skorpios, skippered by Fernando Echavarri, led the race for Monohull Line Honours by just a mile. Mitch Booth's VPLP/Verdier 100 Comanche finished second on the water. With little over two hours until the race's first sundown, the majority of the fleet was making solid progress to Barbuda, the course's first and only mark. "It's rare to see so many big boats in a start like that, just taking it on, but it wasn't only the big boats," says the skipper. This fleet is packed from start to finish in all classes, with competitive starts throughout. "Best of luck to all the teams," Race Director Chris Stone said.
