Groundhog Day at Southernmost Regatta

Key West, FL (January 19, 2022) – The third day of the 2022 Southernmost Regatta delivered more sunshine and solid winds for two more races across the five fleets. David Team’s Vesper (GL52), Bobby Julien’s Dingbat (J/70), Peter Duncan’s Rasta Mixta (Melges 24), and Gwen Fragomen’s Interlodge IV (ORC) retain their lead, but the J/111 class now has Ian Hill’s Sitella with a one point edge over Andrew and Sedgwick Ward’s Bravo.
