The morning\u2019s brilliant sunshine had given way to towering thunderclouds that slid past to the south, and all was easy going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until it wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as the regatta\u2019s J\/70s, Viper 640s and International 110s were sailing their final downwind legs, a surprising wall of wind unleashed its fury. While some teams savored the high-speed spinnaker run, many opted to keep their spinnakers on deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }<\/style><div class='embed-container'><iframe src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/\/1-IHq2NvaSo' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Other sailors were caught off guard with the ferocity of the fast-moving squall, including Joe Berkeley and his crewmate Linda Epstein, winners of the day\u2019s first race in the <strong>International 110<\/strong> fleet.<\/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 decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-3151-1024x704.jpg\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"J\/70 teams in Marblehead\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-3151-1024x704.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-3151-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-3151-768x528.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-3151-1536x1057.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-3151.jpg 1570w\" \/>                <\/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\">J\/70 teams grapple with the short-lived wind burst at the weather mark.<\/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>They were within striking distance of the race leader, and \u201clicking our chops,\u201d Berkeley says.

Dousing and two-sail reaching across the finish line gave them the race win and the series lead with a 1-point delta over Bruno Pasquinelli\u2019s team on <em>Stampede<\/em>.<\/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 loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-0397-1-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Rhodes 19s racing in Marblehead\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-0397-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-0397-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-0397-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-0397-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-0397-1.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\">Rhodes 19s off the start on their second day of racing in Marblehead.<\/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>Henry Amthor and his teammates on the <strong>Viper 640<\/strong> were seen whooping and laughing in the squall as they blitzed to their second race win of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The regatta\u2019s other fleets were already done racing and returning to harbor when the squall passed, and the team on Ted Hardenbergh\u2019s Lightning, from Massabesic Yacht Club in Manchester, New Hampshire, were happy to miss it after an already high-stress day that has them leading their 8-boat fleet by only 1 point.<\/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 loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-0654-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Ted and Mark Hardenbergh and Paula Pryor\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-0654-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-0654-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-0654-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-0654-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-0654.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\">Ted and Mark Hardenbergh and Paula Pryor, leaders of the Lightning class after Friday racing at the Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta Series. <\/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>For them, it was a day of tactical comebacks and strategic adjustments that somehow worked out when they didn\u2019t expect it to.

We went hard left after the start,\u201d Hardenbergh says. Despite the initial setback, his crew remained focused on the downwind leg. \u201cWe sailed deep on the first downwind leg and then jibed early.

The strategy paid off with a second-place finish after race officials shortened the course at the leeward mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the third race, Hardenbergh continued his right-side strategy, leading the fleet in that direction despite another late start. \u201cThe pressure seemed to be over there. It seemed to work out well,\u201d he says. Despite challenges navigating around the Rhodes 19 fleet near the weather mark, his team secured another strong finish, capping off what he described as \u201ca major, major improvement\u201d over the previous year\u2019s performance.<\/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 loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-2300-1-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Viper 640 race at Marblehead\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-2300-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-2300-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-2300-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-2300-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HHSWRS2025_Marblehead-2300-1.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 Viper 640 starts its final race on Friday at the Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta Series at Marblehead Race Week<\/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>Brad Tindall, helming the Texas-based <strong>J\/105<\/strong> <em>TnT<\/em> (named for co-owners Greg Terman and Tindall), enjoyed a remarkable debut at Marblehead, securing multiple race victories.
