The Grand Finale: Panthera, Stay Calm, Yani and True Look Top Roster of Class Winners in Closing Day of Stanford Antigua Sailing Week After a frustrating day in which light winds and overcast skies plagued the racecourse, order was resumed in the sailing universe today as the international fleet gathered here for the final day of racing at the 41st Stanford Antigua Sailing Week were greeted with ideal Caribbean conditions: steady easterly tradewinds building into the mid-teen range and a clear, blue ceiling above. Not surprisingly, in most of the 17 separate divisions, the top boats coming into the last day of competition found the perfect sailing weather much to their liking, wrapping up the regatta in fine, winning fashion.

Dog Day Afternoon: In Fickle Breeze, Benny Kelly’s TP 52 Panthera Consolidates Lead in Racing I at Stanford Antigua Sailing Week Someone forget to tell Benny Kelly's talented crew aboard the TP52, Panthera, that they weren't supposed to be the marquee attraction for the 41st running of Stanford Antigua Sailing Week. After all, much of the pre-regatta buzz involved the fleet’s two Grand Prix maxis, the 90-foot Rambler and the 100-foot ICAP Leopard, which were coming to the island to revise their epic "Battle of the Titans" in last summer's epic Fastnet Race beginning and ending off Cowes, England.

Super Tuesday: Cream Rising to Top After Full Day of Action at Stanford Antigua Sailing Week The midway point of action in the 41st edition of Stanford Antigua Sailing Week is in the books today after a solid day of racing under continued blue skies, moderate seas and swell, and breezes ranging from 10-16 knots. With three days of racing down and two to go, the final results are far from certain. But the cream is beginning to rise to the top in many of the 17 respective classes competing at Sailing Week, and time is drawing short for mid-fleet boats to make a charge.

Crunch Time: Sojana and Lolita Collision Highlights Full Day of Action on Day 2 of 41st Stanford Antigua Sailing Week Racing under clear blue skies and fueled by ideal northeasterly tradewinds coursing across the Caribbean, seventeen classes of race boats took to sea this morning for Day 2 of competition in the 41st running of Stanford Antigua Sailing Week. And while there were multiple surprises across the board in the respective fleets, the main story lines were scripted in the flat-out Division A racing fleets, where a winner was crowned in the two-stage Around the Island Race, and two of the pre-regatta favorites in Racing II and Racing III, respectively, ended the day in a long protest hearing after a messy collision in the early going of today's action.
