Jaguar Series, Miami - Sailors bundle up for Racing

Californian Peter Vessella and his crew, who hold the top spot after the first round of the Etchells Jaguar Series, should feel very comfortable in the San Francisco-like elements forecast this weekend in Miami.
As it stands, the weather temps are forecast in the 40s and the breeze both days looks to top out at 17 - 25 knots. Professional sailor and coach Bill Bennett said this morning that he and the crew are 'buying more clothes!' And he suggests: 'Whatever you own, bring it.'
Organizer Ken Batzer says the 55 boats signed up for this weekend will see one of the windiest weekends on record for the Jag. With clear skies, chop, and big breeze, the photographers, boatwrights and sailmakers can't wait. It's looking like a gear buster.
