Only three races were completed on Day One before racing on Day Two was cancelled entirely, deemed too windy for safe competition.
Competing in the ILCA 6 class, Penruddocke secured an outstanding third-place finish overall, accumulating a total of just 10 points across the three races in a massive fleet of 81 boats.
Her performance was marked by consistent improvement: she finished fifth in the first race, moved up to fourth in the second, and capped the regatta by winning the third and final race outright. This final victory against a deep international field cemented her position on the podium.
Meanwhile, fellow Bermudian sailor Sebastian Kempe faced an eventful and frustrating day in the highly competitive ILCA 7 fleet of 31 boats.
Kempe’s campaign was severely impacted in the very first race when he broke his mast. Despite the equipment failure, the determined sailor managed to get back out on the water.
While he received high scores of 33 points for both the first and second races due to his inability to compete fully, Kempe showed his true ability in the final race. Having replaced his equipment, he finished the third race in a strong fifth place.
His overall score of 77 points placed him 23rd in the ILCA 7 fleet, a testament to his fighting spirit despite the early setback.
