Despite sporty seas, Vikings claimed the top three spots at the recent Chub Cay Open. Shane Guidry’s Viking 72 Team Harvey led the charge and captured 1st Place. With captain Erick Soderholm at the helm, the team got off to a hot start by releasing eight sailfish on Day One. On Day Two they added a pair of blue marlin and another sail for the win.
Tai Tai, a Viking 68, claimed 2nd Place with a blue marlin and five sailfish. Third Place went to the Anderson family’s Viking 80 Krazy Salt’s with nine sails. “The boats dealt with challenging conditions because of the wind and waves this year,” said Tournament Direct Robert “Fly” Navarro. “It forced everyone to fish in The Pocket. Fortunately, the billfish got the memo.”
