Worrell fleet fly

Another record has been broken in the small-cat marathon up the east coast of America

A new record of seven hours, 45 minutes and 12 seconds was set by Team Castrol for stage six of the Worrell 1000 on Friday. At 121 miles, the Jacksonville Beach (Florida) to Tybee Island (Georgia) leg is the longest of the 13 stages that connect the Miami Beach start to the finish in Virginia.

Joseph Sonnenklar and John Casey scored their third leg win as they beat Alex Shafer and Nigel Pitt on Tommy Bahama to the finish at Tybee Island by just 54 seconds. But after leg seven yesterday (Saturday) to Isle of Palms in South Carolina, Stephen Lohmayer and Kenneth Pierce on Tybee Island still have the overall lead.

In second place overall, Brian Lambert and Jamie Livingston sailing Alexander’s on the Bay won the 83.5-mile stage to close their overall deficit to Tybee Island to five minutes and 23 seconds.

Today the eighteen-boat fleet is racing from the South Carolina beaches of Isle of Palms to Myrtle.
