Cabo Race: Siesta sailing to the south

(March 18, 2019) – The early starters continue to benefit from better winds in the 800nm Newport Beach To Cabo San Lucas International Yacht Race, with the slow pace for the bigger boats proving to be too slow for Manouch Moshayed’s RIO 100 which retired overnight due to light winds. Provisional leaders among the 27 remaining teams are Peligroso (Kernan 70, ORR1), Pywacket (Andrew 70, ORR2), Fast Exit (Andrews 40, ORR3), Horizon (SC50, ORR4), and Chubasco (S&S 67, ORR5).
