The 19th Ida Lewis Distance Race hosted 45 teams. The competition’s 24-hour format saw seven classes leave Newport Harbor at 11:00 AM Friday, August 16, and return on Saturday to a finish line sighted from host Ida Lewis Yacht Club. “With the forecast for light air, we chose a course of 135.0nm for all three ORC classes and a shorter 120.0nm for the four PHRF classes,” said Will Museler, a member of the race team. In the ORC 3 Division, Edward Kaye’s J/111 PRAVDA from Marblehead, MA finished in 1d 1h 39m 20s to win the Division and also take the silver medal for ORC Overall, only missing winning ORC Overall by a mere 5 minutes.
