Allegra prevails in Round Tortola Race for Nanny Cay Cup
Paul Larsen, who calls tactics on Allegra, said, “I’ve not raced around Tortola before, so it was a voyage of discovery for us. We made a bit of a change today – we brought Paul Campbell James on board as tactician to reduce the workload at the back of the boat and that enabled me to work with Adrian on the driving. The conditions were perfect for us – starting to step into the range where it favours Allegra at 30 tonnes. We had breeze up to 23 and all the boats – Nemo and Convexity2 were flying hulls. Nemo was even reefed, and it was fantastic to have three very well sailed powered up boats neck and neck. It was smiles all around.”
The course record, which was set in 2019, is held by Fujin, the Bieker 53 catamaran owned and skippered by Greg Slyngstad (USA).
