GL52 Little Traverse Cup 2025 - Day 1

by Windlass Creative 16 Aug 2025 03:44 NZST August 14-16, 2025

After an hour start delay, three patience-testing races were sailed in light air yesterday at the GL52 Little Traverse Cup 2025. All six teams remain in the hunt for podium positions at this regatta, as well as for the GL52 Great Lakes Series 2025.

Three boats getting a gun yesterday reminds us that GL52 Racing is anyone's game at any time! Robert Hughes, helmed his HEARTBREAKER to a win in Race 1 (1,4,2), and are now topping the regatta leaderboard with 7 points total for Day 1. The O'Niel family's NATALIE J (5,1,3) grabbed victory in Race 2 and Chris Duhon's MOCKINGBIRD (6,5,1) finished first in Race 3.

Day 1 scores are below and detailed LTC results are here.
