Congratulations to David Nelson, Frank Hart and Crew, from Fleet 46 (Hingham), for winning the 125 Marblehead Race Week just edging out Jim and Charlie and overcoming Evan and Pete’s 3x bullets (full results.) It was a grueling 10-race series with punishing conditions including large shifts, wildly varying velocity and steep chop. We were lucky enough to have Chuck Allen from North Sails on the water taking some photo and video, in addition to photos by Tim Wilkes. Also don’t miss NOOD’s own coverage of the event, which also includes some video.
