February 29, 2016: Following the win in the Los Suenos Triple Crown Series Leg II event (Feb 24-27,2016), Captain Jon Duffie is the new International Division Captain of the Year Cup points leader for the first time this year. Capt. Ben Horning (600 pts) on Fish Tank was knocked of the lead this week but only sits a couple hundred points behind Duffie with 800 pts. The final leg of the Costa Rica Los Suenos Triple Crown Series, Leg III March 30-April 2, is always the tournament with the most at stake. Not only are the top three points finishers going to earn points, the overall series champion will take bragging rights for the year and with them an additional 250 cup points -which historically made a significant impact in the outcome of the International Division winner. Stay tuned for the final, its going to be a shootout and we hope a few more marlin are slipping around to keep it interesting. Congrats Duffie!
