Bryon Ehrhart’s Juan K 88 Lucky crossed the finish of the RORC Caribbean 600 at 04:44:12 Wednesday 26 February.
Lucky finished just nine mile ahead of Leopard 3 with Joost Schuijff at the helm, and 12 miles clear of Roy Disney’s Pyewacket 70. With an elapsed time of 01 Days 17 Hrs 14 Mins and 12 Secs.
Lucky Crew: Bryon Ehrhart, Antonio Cuervas Mons, Brad Butterworth, Brian Giorgio, Charlie Enright, Daniele Raddavero, Dean Phipps, Jan Dekker, John Hele, Jonathan Clough, Jonathan Rankine, Juan Vila, Luke Tougas, Mark Bradford, Mark Newbrook, Sam Mason, Scott Beavis, Simon Daubney, Stuart Wilson and Will McCarthy.
Juan Vila’s conclusion about beating Leopard to the finish line: “The key to being ahead of Leopard in this race was having quite a few reaching legs, which suited our speed. Plus, we got a bit lucky with showers and headlands and we nailed the passage past Guadeloupe, which can change everything.”
Fourth to finish was Christian Zugel’s Volvo 70 Tschuss 2 ahead of Baithasar fifth and George Procopiou’s Volvo 70 Aiolos in sixth.
