ORC World Championship: New York Yacht Club Day 3 Results and Highlights
The ORC World Championship at New York Yacht Club on Day 3 saw perfect inshore racing conditions, with three races held in ideal weather. Principal Race Officer Tom Duggan called for Windward-Leeward races for all classes on course areas outside Narragansett Bay. The leaders in each class – Victor Wild’s FOX 2.0 in Class 0, Austin and Gwen Fragomen’s INTERLODGE IV in Class A, and Marcin Sutkowski’s WIND WHISPER 44 in Class B – showcased their skill in the challenging conditions.
FOX tactician Andy Horton emphasized the hard work and preparation that went into their victories, while runner-up Paul Zabetakis noted the competitive nature of Class A racing. The day’s racing was closely contested, with small margins separating the top finishers in each class.
In Maxi racing, VESPER dominated with three first-place finishes, but their victories were hard-fought and closely contested. More windward-leeward races are scheduled for the next day of racing in the championships.
