THE 12 METER NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIPS 2017 ARE/WERE SCHEDULED FOR 9/21-24. HOWEVER HURRICANE JOSÉ IS PARKED OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST AND DISRUPTING PLANS. YESTERDAY WE HAD GUSTS OF 42+ KNOTS; RACING IS CANCELLED FOR FRIDAY AND A DETERMINATION WILL BE MADE ON SATURDAY MORNING; ALL WEATHER DEPENDENT.
The sailing season is far from over. The twelve meter north americans start on thursday here in Newport. The twelve meters are truly elegant . The international cup sailed in swan 42 just finished (17 nations and 22 boats). Level racing is wonderful and sensible, particularly on a closed course.
I am just as enthusiastic about diversity. Pushing the limits of possibility.New materials have allowed people to do things that could only be dreamed of previously.
