The lead up to the 38th edition of the America’s Cup in Napoli, Italy, has all the earmarks of the prolific English writer William Shakespeare’s best work and drama. It was in that beginning, 1851 to be exact, that an event graced with the “presence” of a queen became the holy grail of yachting. Taking place around the Isle of Wight, and as fate (and some local knowledge) would have it, the legend of the yacht America and its Cup was born.
Greg Dorn’s San Francisco Yacht Club-flagged Favonius 2 (Transpac 52) raced the 77th Newport to Ensenada Race on Friday. We used the race as another training session for the 2025 TransPac coming up in July. Conditions were fairly mellow but consistent this year. For our noon start in the Maxi class, we had overcast skies which slowly burned off to a late afternoon sun and a spectacular sunset. Winds for the majority of the race were 8-12 knots.
