International Catamaran Challenge Trophy, 18HT catamarans begin racing.
DEFENDERS AND CHALLENGERS MIX IT UP
NEWPORT, R.I. (October 2, 2003) - While the temperatures dropped on Narragansett Bay, action on the race course heated up as competition for the International Catamaran Challenge Trophy (ICCT) resumed today after yesterday's planned lay day. The Challenger (Italy's Daniele Saragoni and crew Teo Di Battista, representing Club Nautico Rimini) and the Defender (John Lovell of New Orleans, La., and crew Charlie Ogletree of Houston, Texas, representing Southern Yacht Club) faced each other on a windward-leeward course (three times around) for three matches in breeze upwards of 23 knots with temperatures hovering in the low 60s. It was "rugged going," according to ICCT Trustee John Dawson of Sea Cliff Yacht Club, organizers of the event, "especially for those who went swimming."
