Doublehander Oakcliff Racing Drops Out with Rudder Problems
Dawn Riley has called with news about the boat called Oakcliff Racing that was forced by a broken rudder to drop out of the race. This boat is in Class 15 in the Double-Handed Division (another Oakcliff entry, called Temptation-Oakcliff, is in Class 9 in Gibbs Hill and still racing). Dawn reports that Oakcliff Racing is sailing to Block Island under shortened rig, making 4-5 knots under her disappointed but otherwise comfortable crew, Jeffrey Macfarlane and Michael Tolsma.
