Congratulations Anchorage Racers!!
Newport to Bermuda
Bodacious II, with Anchorage Vice Commodore John Hoskins aboard took line honors for Cruising Division 13 in the 2008 Newport Bermuda Race. WOW!
After 630NM, Bodacious II finished just 20 minutes ahead of Freedom, a substantially bigger boat. Provisional results below for the four boats in CD13 that have finished show Bodacious II first in class. None of the boats still on the water appear to be able to correct over them.
Congratulations JOHN.
The 2008 Doublehanded results are in, and Anchorage did well!

Unfortunately, Shel Dummer's race in the Solo Super Mac & Back ended early, with mechanical steering problems causing him to abandon the race. Shel is fine, but disappointed.
