50th St. Thomas International Regatta Day 2 || Sail-World
Puerto Rico's Francisco Velez, tactician on Giberto Rivera's IC24, Urayo, perfectly summed up the challenge of the day, and the first two days, of the 50th St. Thomas International Regatta (STIR).
"Local knowledge usually is a big advantage. But now, with winds out of the West rather than East, something that is very unusual, everybody is lost. We are all finding our way. It levels the playing field," says Velez, of Team Urayo, which sits in 4th in the 15-boat, highly-competitive, one-design IC24 class.
