How much does a win at the Bacardi Cup mean? Well look at the picture above of Picasso & Nureyev (8602) versus The President and Frida (8550) right at the death of the first race with just inches separating them. Double hiked a la Dennis Conner back in the day, Mateusz and Bruno are giving it full beans, eking the best from the gust that just hit on a right-hand shift that came seconds too late. Outstanding sailing from the two best sailing teams in the world today. Cayard strikes first blood. The greatest advert for our sport.
