Atlantic Perpetual Trophy – Farr 30: With a world championship at stake, 12 Farr 30s competed in their own regatta within the regatta and until today Scott Easom's Eight Ball had been successfully fighting off fierce competition from Barking Mad and Groovederci. Wipeouts and sail blowouts had become the norm over the seven extremely windy races. With just one race completed yesterday due to the extreme conditions, Easom's rivals were set to pounce as soon as the wind settled.

“It was an unforced error, we shouldn’t have been there,” said Barking Mad's Owner/Skipper Jim Richardson.

“Coming into today, I knew winning was a possibility, but we would need all four races,” Demourkas said. “In the first race, we were leading and hit the weather mark, so that wasn’t so good, but we did our penalty turn and managed to hold it all together. This is my ninth world championship in this boat; I’ve been a bride’s maid a few times, so I’ve paid my dues.”
Demourkas, who is also the Farr 30 class president praised the St. Francis Yacht Club for allowing the smaller one design boats to compete in the Rolex Big Boat Series.
“It shows their commitment to yachting to have us here and gave us a chance to show what theses boats can do.” While the boats are capable of performing in high winds she said that many of the owners here have not had precious time in the boat like she has had. “It was a little more nerve wracking, but damn good racing,” she said.
