2026 GL52 Little Traverse Cup - Day 2

by Caroline Rochford 9 Aug 10:06 PDT

Day 2 of our final event of the season, Little Traverse Cup, was full of excitement.

Breeze conditions were stronger than day 1 and allowed RC to complete three races in ideal conditions.

Leads switched and points narrowed, only two points separate first and fourth. An up and down day for Katana has squandered their lead and they are now tied with Windquest for first. Behind them is Wizard, who is hungry for a win after finishing second at the other events this season. Mockingbird continues to fight for a podium position and sits in fourth place. Hooligan and Fjord had moments of glory and moments of challenge and are in fifth and sixth respectively.

The final day begins at 12pm ET and plan to run two races.

Aside from the individual event trophies, we will also be handing out the trophies for the overall series awards. With lots of hardware on the line, it really could come down to today's races.
