Eric Doyle and Payson Infelise of the USA are winners of the 2019 Star Bacardi Cup.
Poland’s Mateusz Kusznierewicz and Frithjof Kleen (USA) won the final race ahead of Eivind Melleby and Joshua Revkin of Norway, with Diego Negri and Sergio Lambertenghi of Italy in third.
Doyle and Infelise did not finish the final race, but were overall victors by one point, with Kusznierewicz and Kleen taking second and Melleby and Revkin completing the podium.
Challengers Paul Cayard and Magnus Liljedal were slowly climbing back through the fleet, but there was no hope of them overhauling Doyle and Infelise’s points advantage.
Then, on the second downwind, they broke their mast and were forced to be towed back in.
