The breeze was on for the third and final day (reminiscent of Friday) of the Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta Series in Chicago. A fast-building northwest wind pushed boats, gear and crew to their limits. Still, the Chicago and Corinthian Yacht Clubs gave the sailors a full slate of races and stories to share. This edition of the Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta will certainly be remembered for its testing but tasty champagne conditions. Jim Murray’s Calisto Racing [Hestia] was the top J/70, winning four of six races to beat out Laura Sigmond’s Norboy by 5 points. Norboy was the top Mixed-Plus J/70 team, and Bob Willis’ Rip Rullah was top Corinthian. For full results, visit https://yachtscoring.com/event_results_cumulative.cfm?eID=16262.
