More racing news from the East coast as two Carbon 32s compete in Larchmont Yacht Club’s 59th Annual Edlu Distance Race. The race garnered a lot of attention as it was the first event in the US to pioneer the new “Plus One” concept of racing where boats are sailed short handed in an attempt to increase participation by not requiring everyone to put together large crews in order to sail their boats.
The Columbia Carbon 32 “Six Brothers” started the second weekend of the 2014 American Yacht Club AYC Spring Series in 1st place with a narrow 2-point lead (see pictures from the first weekend). The team, skippered by Chris Kramer, quickly picked up where they left off taking 3 out of 4 bullets giving “Six Brothers” only 16 points from 10 races (with one throw-out). This was enough to win their PHRF I Div 3 with a comfortable 6 point margin.

The Columbia Carbon 32, “Six Brothers”, was First to Finish and First Overall in the 46 mile 2013 Stratford Shoal Race.
“Six Brothers” owner reports, “It was great fun with the A3 spinnaker up heading to Stratford at 11 to 14 knots! We were sailing as fast or faster that true wind – the boat has amazing acceleration. We made the turn in about 2 hours and then close reached back to Oyster Bay at 8 knots. I love the boat and hope to get ready for 4 weekends of windward / leewards in September”
Rye, NY – Our latest Carbon Columbia 32 was launched in August and is now sailing and racing on Long Island Sound. “Six Brothers” owned by Christian Kramer, sailing under the American Yacht Club and New York Yacht Club burgees, intends to race his new boat with his six sons (yes he has six boys) for the rest of the season and hopefully meet his sister ship “Weegie” on the race course for some close competition. “Weegie” is 1st of two Carbon Columbia 32 delivered to the area in as many months.
