The two usual suspects, Robert Dunkley and Jimmie Lowe, associate with Kai Chaplin and Ted O'Brien respectively are finishing first and second but a couple of other emerging teams gave these two veteran sailors a hard time during the six races of this weekend.

Dwayne Wallas and Jason Robertson on one side, John Watson Galloway and Alyson Myers on the other are both going very fast and it was a matter of seconds between these four competitors on the finishing lines.  This is promising for the rest of the season and for the future of the Bahamas in the sport of sailing.
