Guck continues to blitz U.S. Multihull Championship

Bristol, RI (September 20, 2014) – The A-Cat sailors were once again greeted with windy conditions on Narragansett Bay with warmer temperatures on Day 2 of the U.S. Multihull Championship, hosted by Bristol Yacht Club. Fleet leader Lars Guck (Barrington, R.I.) continued his A-Cat clinic on Saturday and remains unbeaten through eight races. The competitors this week have had ample opportunities to improve their skill set in the tricky, ultra-quick A-Cat.

“There was more breeze today, but not any more consistent direction wise,” explained Guck. “I’m still learning how to foil and I used it sparingly today. I was able to foil upwind twice today. There is still a learning curve involved. It’s tough to keep up with but it’s a lot of fun.”

Two races are planned for Sunday and no races will start after 2 pm EDT.
