The Vintage Gold Cup and ISCYRA announce the final results for the 2023 Vintage Gold Cup. For the second day in a row all races were canceled; the results remain the same as after first day of racing.
The winners of the 2023 Vintage Gold Cup are Brazilians Lars Grael and Mauricio Bueno with a 5-1-1 performance. Grael is now a back-to-back winner of the Vintage Gold Cup in his boat Star of the Sea.
In second place is local skipper Josh Powell and his crew Luke Lawrence of Stuart, FL with finishes of 1-8-3. In third is the Illinois team of Joe Londrigan and John Wysockey who finished 2-10-8.
The morning started out with a dense fog over the lake and no winds yet the forecast did call for light winds by 12noon. As the fog lifted, the sun came out and the wind tapered off. Two starts were attempted but both ended with general recalls. With no measurable wind nor any signs of such on the horizon, the race committee was facing a time-of-day deadline and canceled all racing for the day.
