Mike Williamson’s Summit 40 White Heat triumphed in a closely fought IRC Class 2 at the first major event of the calendar, Key West Race Week. “"It feels very, very good to win this regatta. Key West is well known around the world so certainly it's a great accomplishment," Williamson said. John Cooper’s immaculate Mills 43 Cool Breeze took second along with a Lewmar Boat of the Day trophy to produce a repeat of last years win by a Summit 40 with second place taken by a Mills custom IRC design. White Heat with four race wins built on her East Coast IRC win in Annapolis to show consistency in the predominantly light and medium conditions to win one of the most competitive classes at the event with a race to spare.
The Summit 35’s Act One and Mariners Cove debuted here in real style on the PHRF circle after the two sisterships decided to race together when the second boat chartered by a Cork contingent was unable to get an endorsed IRC rating in time. They enjoyed close racing with a 2nd and 4th in PHRF which if scored in IRC would have been a clear 1,2, leading one experienced helm to declare it an ‘IRC Weapon’, one we look forward to seeing in IRC competition in the build up to the Commodores Cup later this season.
How many archaeologists does it take to change a light bulb? Three. One to change it while the other two argue about how old the old one is.
