Countdown begins to crown the winner of the Two Seasons Sailing League

This weekend, the Puerto de Andratx Sailing Club held its historic Trofeo Dos Islas, raced in its classic inter-island format, with magnificent and demanding sea conditions and fresh wind over a 72-nautical-mile course.

A dozen cruising boats set sail this Saturday, May 10, under partially clear skies and a southeasterly sea that gradually built up to a heavy swell throughout the day and into the early hours of Sunday, navigating a round trip toward the islet of La Horadada, in the Cabrera Archipelago.

After nearly 9 and a half hours of sailing, Miguel Rojo’s splendid Swan 58, “Lullaby,” was first to cross the finish line in real time; “Kine,” skippered by Sean McCarter, followed shortly after and was declared the winner in corrected time for the ORC 0/3 division. After midnight, amid storms and spectacular lightning, Silvia Cabrera’s “Just4Fun” was crowned winner in the smaller ORC 4/5 class.

Next weekend, May 17 and 18, the XXVIII Two Seasons Sailing League will conclude with the Trofeo Presidente, a round trip from Andratx waters to Palma Bay, where the season’s overall winner will be crowned.
