Canadian 'Zingara' hoists Bushwhacker Cup. Win sealed by two bullets and a two.

Yes, the travel was worth the trouble. Canadian Richard Reid’s 'Zingara' came all the way from Port Credit, Ont, to Northwest Florida to win first place overall in the 2021 Bushwhacker Cup hosted by Pensacola Yacht Club. For the six-race regatta, Reid and his team of Rebecca Anderson, Richard Clarke, Bill Gooderham, Brian Kamilar and Goncalo Ribiero scored bullets in the first and final races to score 1 -[14] -5 -6 -2 -1. With one race to drop, 'Zingara' won with a score of 15 points.

Top Corinthian boat and overall Atlantic Coast Champion was Steve Suddath's '3 1/2 Men'. Suddath and crew Shawn Burke, Steve Burke, and Jack Smith ended with a line score of 7 - 8 - 8 - 3 - 3 - [22/UFD]… They got to drop their final race 22/UFD, a ‘U’ flag disqualification. The Jacksonville team ended with 29 points, in sixth place overall.

Racing in Pensacola YC's Melges 24 Bushwhacker Cup was nearly perfect today. Four races sailed on four 1.25 mile legs were completed. Starts were hard fought with one general recall and several individual recalls.

Mark roundings were crowded. Winds were brisk, gusty and shifty out of the NNW and with a persistant move to the left.
Sunday racing is scheduled for first warning at 9:55.
