To prepare both boats and crew this year they\u2019ve got the <a href=\"\/regatta-series-detroit\/\">Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta Series Detroit<\/a> and two days of distance races, the first of which set off this morning under sunny skies and moderate but shifty winds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twenty-seven teams in total set off on a 22-mile race, led by the nine-boat ORC A group. Tim LaRiviere and his team on the Sydney 41 <em>Eagle One<\/em> were one of the early boats off the dock this morning, and with a good start that followed they were on their way to a race win to put their first keeper score on the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"hydra-container\">\n\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/06012024_SWRS_Detroit-0059-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"hydra-image disable-lazyload\" alt=\"GL70 Titan\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" fetchpriority=\"high\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/06012024_SWRS_Detroit-0059-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/06012024_SWRS_Detroit-0059-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/06012024_SWRS_Detroit-0059-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/06012024_SWRS_Detroit-0059-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/06012024_SWRS_Detroit-0059.jpg 1620w\" \/>                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n            <figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">The GL70 <i>Titan<\/i> charges through the ORC fleet at the start of the Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta Detroit Distance Race.<\/span>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Walter Cooper<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t            <\/figcaption>\n        <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>David Bauermeister\u2019s small and sporty Donovan 27 was first across the finish line off host Bayview Yacht Club\u2019s yardarm, followed by James and Paul Kraft\u2019s Corby 33.
