Big W for Whisper at the St Barths Bucket!

Terry Hutchinson, tactician, comments: A good race today on Whisper with plenty of highlights.Navigator “Soapy” made a perfect layline call to round the upwind corner of St. Barth’s, setting up a strong position early. The bow team, under the supervision of Scotty Vogel, executed flawlessly, while owner Hap Fauth delivered great tactical input encouraging Whisper to the left side of the first beat off the start.
That decision proved decisive as Whisper capitalized on a beautiful left shift and never looked back.
A fantastic team effort all around. After racing, the crew dropped the hook and celebrated with an incredible dinner from Chef Louise.
