Nearing the end of the Subic Sailing Calendar<br />
is the Bonifacio Cup, held this year on<br />
the weekend of November 25th and 26th, <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
Fully supported by Lighthouse<br />
Marina, the Bonifacio Cup<br />
is one of the many popular<br />
events held each year by Subic<br />
Sailing.<br />
Although this year, because<br />
of other commitments of the<br />
sailors, numbers were slightly<br />
down, but this did not deter<br />
everyone from having a great<br />
weekend of sailing.<br />
Competing in the regatta this<br />
year were, Selma Star with Jun<br />
Avecilla and crew, Selma with<br />
The winds and<br />
some inefficient<br />
sailing caused Alexa<br />
to retire with a<br />
broken mast.<br />
Ricky Sandoval and crew, Centennial II with Martin<br />
Tanco and Crew, Karakoa with Ray Ordoveza and<br />
crew and Alexa with Eric Jurado and crew.<br />
After the skippers meeting<br />
at the Subic Bay Yacht club,<br />
Racing got underway in earnest<br />
with good healthy winds,<br />
giving an exceptionally good<br />
start. Some excellent sailing by<br />
Jun Avecilla and his crew seen<br />
them take out the honours on<br />
the first day with Centennial II<br />
in Second Place and Karakoa<br />
in third. After the days racing,<br />
everyone gathered at the bar<br />
at the Lighthouse Marina, for<br />
some well deserving drinks,<br />
and light snacks.<br />
