Carl Buchan Leads at Day 3 of Star Western Hemisphere Championship
One piece of advice that sailors can typically agree on is the more time spent on the water, the better you’ll do. While that may be true for the majority of sailors, Carl Buchan has been proving so far at the Star Western Hemisphere Championship that once you’re that good, you don’t need more time.
Overall, Buchan holds the top spot on the scoresheet after three more races today. Following in second by a mere one point is Eric Doyle and his crew Payson Infelise and Brian Ledbetter and his crew Magnus Liljedahl in third.
A Slow Start for the Star Western Hemisphere Championship
San Diego, CA (May 23, 2019) It’s been a slow start for the Star Western Hemisphere Championship as unfavorable conditions swept through San Diego on Wednesday, postponing the start of the regatta due to high wind and seas. On Thursday, twenty-six sailors launched their vessels and eagerly headed out past Point Loma to the ocean venue ready to sail. However, the extremely light winds didn’t help pick up the pace.
The current overall standings show Carl and Jamie Buchan in first with 5 points, Allan Terhune and Ian Coleman in second with 7 points, and Ben Mitchell and Patrick Powell in third with 12 points.
Star sailing legend Carl Buchan has quite the extensive sailing background, proving his experience by standing in first place overall. Fellow Olympians John Dane and Brian Ledbetter did not stray too far behind, all making it in the top five on the scoresheet at the end of day two. However, their sailing resume and success didn’t stop them from facing the other intense competitors on the water.
