Sojana Storms Wins 2nd Annual Superyacht Cup Antigua

by Carol Bareuther

Sojana won the 2nd annual Superyacht Cup (SYC) Antigua, sailed December 12 to 15 out of Nelson’s Dockyard. Great Britain’s Peter Harrison’s 115-footer accomplished this feat by just 0.3 points, thanks to a triple point rating in the last race.

The third and final race proved the tightest sailing, with all the yachts finishing within 10 minutes. This may not sound close for some events, but the yachts in the six race fleet ranged in length from 95 to 146 feet with a displacement of over 180 tons. However, after two races, the estimated times around the course provided an accurate assessment to calculate the Pursuit Start times. All the yachts appeared to revel in the 25 to 30 knot winds and big seas.

Timoneer (146-foot Dubois) ended second, with Patient Falcon (95-foot Nelson Marek) third.
