Queens Cup Winner Changed
Bantu with a Corrected Time of 7:59:51 has officially been declared winner of the 2004 Queens Cup.
Race Orgaizner South Shore Yacht Club posted the following statement: “The South Shore Yacht Club Queen’s Cup Committee apologizes for the previous error in scoring. The proper DHCP was not applied due to a difference in boat type coding. We thank Mr. James DeVries for informing us and allowing us to correct the scoring error.”
It should be noted that James Devries is the skipepr of Cynthia the boat that SSYC has scored as first overall. Mr. Devries discovery and disclosure of this error put his boat Cynthia in 2nd overall by 15 seconds. Clearly despite not being the overall winner Mr. Devries unprecedented act of sportsmanship makes him the clear winner regardless of results.
