LIONHEART WINS J CLASS REGATTA

-

After a fierce bout of racing on the final day of competitio­n between a record fleet of seven J Class yachts, Lionheart reigned supreme in the America’s Cup regatta for the massive vessels.

The win follows her triumphant performanc­e in the earlier America’s Cup Superyacht Regatta.

Going into the final day, it was Hanuman and Ranger at the top of the leaderboar­d, with Lionheart just behind ready to pounce. Overhaulin­g the leader, Topaz, and with

Velsheda winning the second of the two races of the day, Lionheart took the regatta – in front by three points.
