2018 St Petersburg NOOD Regatta: Bruce Mahoney 1st

Photos by Stan Mehaffey published by USACA, full gallery at their Fb page .  Official regatta web sailingworld.com / – Bruce Mahoney dominated, the 2018 NOOD Regatta held at St Petersburg. Six bullets for Bruce sailing a D3 equipped with a Mischa DS with extra small top head.
I have some feedback from Australia F18 DS devel, where they seem to go 900/1000mm top heads again now for DS. The Decksweeper works along a smaller head in my view, providing more drive down to boom/tramp area and reducing drag up, which helps to pitch stabilize racing cats in floating or foiling mode.
Mischa DS sail to the left used by Bruce to win this regatta (Mischa also won last North Ams with one) takes the small head concept to the extreme.
Seems to be working pretty good. Bailey reports foiling conds were to the min required to lift off.

Second place in Foiling division for Larry Woods & 3rd overall for Bailey White, both on D3 / Bryt.

In the floating/Classic Division, Ben Hall keeps showing us how to sail & race A-Cats, sailing another Classic, the Nikita.
Second overall for Woody Cope and 3rd for Craig Yandow.

A total of  35 A-Class racing in the combined fleets.
