It's the Jock and Larry Show on Day 2 of Bacardi Cup

With a square line and about a third of the fleet determined not to push the start in fear of having more letters added to their score, the 78-boat Star Bacardi Cup fleet got off to a clean first start at noon on Monday.

Pity the teams who were black flagged in the first race and went to the right side on the first beat and to the left on the second beat of Monday’s race. Now if you happened to do just the opposite, you may have been in for the thrill of your sailing career.

Jock Kohlaus and Larry Scott rounded the first weather mark in fifth in the company of Ian Murray, Freddie Loof, Mark Reynolds, Flavio Marazzi and their crews. They passed a boat or two on the run. The right leeward gate was favored and the first three teams went right to avoid the approaching downwind traffic.

The wind freshened from the right and the team among the leaders which favored the right the most, Jock and Larry in 8043, found themselves with a jump on Ian Murray that was the length of a football field at the crossing two-thirds of the way up the beat.

Positions throughout the fleet shifted quiet a bit in the fickle winds. As they approached the second weather mark Kohlaus/Scott were well ahead of Loof/Ekstrom, Museler/ Lidecis, Marazzi/Hofert, and Murray/Palfrey. They extended the lead on the run with everybody cheering for them as they rounded the leeward mark. It was up to them to loosely cover the past Star World Championship team of Loof and Ekstrom.

Loof and Ekstrom tried to draw them into a tacking duel, but the leaders tried to minimize their tacks against the strong Swedes. Spectators held their collective breath as Jock and Larry barely crossed Freddie and Anders on port within one hundred yards of the finish line. The Swedes tried to ground them down by hiking with their hands over their heads. In the end Jock and Larry nosed out Freddie and Larry.

With a parched mouth, a racing heart and sweat beading off him, Kohlaus smiled and said, 'just another day on Biscayne Bay, but Augie’s not here.' I’m not even sure that Augie would have figured out the Bay today.

Congratulations Jock and Larry, you are now the top North Americans in the regatta!
