| 2004 INTERNATIONAL CATAMARAN CHALLENGE TROPHY: - Challengers still undecided |
| NEW ORLEANS, USA-(21-10-2004) Principal Race Officer Wallace Paletou
(New Orleans) and Chief Umpire Dobbs Davis (Annapolis, Md.) determined today
that conditions were not suitable for racing at the 2004 International
Catamaran Challenge Trophy (ICCT). Racing in the Defender Series concluded
yesterday with Johnny Lovell (New Orleans) and Charlie Ogletree (Houston,
Texas) winning the right to defend for the 24th Little Americas Cup.
Racing in the Challenger Series will resume tomorrow, Friday, October 22, to
determine whether Mitch Booth and Herbert Dercksen of The Netherlands or
Enrique Figueroa and Jorge Sanchez of Puerto Rico will challenge for the
ICCT. Both teams are currently tied at three points each.
Revived in 2003 after a hiatus of more than seven years, the ICCT is an
international match racing event for catamarans. Sailing from Southern Yacht
Club in F18HTs, the winners of the respective Defender and Challenger
eliminations will compete head-to-head in a first-to-four points series for
the Trophy on Friday, October 22, and, if necesssary, Saturday, October 23.
