Carina rounding Fastnet Rock. "One of the best sailed boats of this era." --Dobbs David
With her second consecutive win of the coveted St. David's Lighthouse trophy in 2012's Newport - Bermuda race, Carina has become one of the most recognized racing yachts sailing today. Just a year after hitting the water she was entered into the history books with her fist win of the St. David's Lighthouse Trophy in the 1970 Bermuda Race.
According to Newport - Bermuda Race Official Website, "While the Bermuda Race has no official overall winner, the top boat in the St. David’s Lighthouse Division is generally regarded as the winner." Even after a 15 minute penalty for an unfortunate miscommunication regarding one of her crew member's professional status, Carina completed the course with more than 15 minutes to spare over her closest competitor, Defiance.
