How Did the TP 52’s fare?
4 TransPac 52’s are entered in the Chicago Mac. We’ve follwed the build up and progress of these boats in the lead up to the race.
Esmeralda which dominated an inshroe regatta has shown that was not a fluke being the 1st TP 52 to finish at 0821. They led the 2nd TP 52 Bright Star by 13 minutes at the 45th parallell.
Remarkably Esmeralda took their 13 minute advantage over Bright Star and turned it into 3 H 3 minutes at the finish! Bright Star was just ahead of Rosebud which finished at 11:26:01, and then 22 seconds later came Sjambock. These three TP 52’s were 4th through 6th on corrected time.
