Latest Standings/S Class News/Aquila & Whistler race in OHC

Post date: Aug 24, 2011 3:41:26 AM

Aquila and Whistler compete in the Opera House Regatta! Aquila placed 40th and Whistler placed 48th on corrected time in the 2011 Opera House Regatta in Nantucket on Aug. 21, 2011.

While only two S boats made it to Nantucket this year, their presence was an important symbol of the courage, character, and strength of the Herreshoff S Class.

And with the OHC included in the summer racing series, Aquila's success among the S boats in the OHC has moved her up to 2nd place in the summer series.

The lastest standings show that there is very close competition, and the season is far from over. After 21 races, only ten points separate the top five boats.

Let's all hope that Hurricane Irene does not make an uninvited appearance!
