I have always had a fascination with lighthouses. I marvel at the organization of the system of lights for navigation. For me, no less impressive even in today’s world of GPS which is now so accurate. They have become touchstones, memories of the ocean races I have sailed with so many shipmates.

The Admiral’s Cup, started in 1957 lasting until the 90’s, always one of my favorite events; which in my era included the Fastnet Race.
Recently, the Storm Trysail Club honored Ted Turner and the crew of “Tenacious”; winners of the infamous 1979 Fastnet Race.
These events along with the SORC epitomized ocean racing during a certain period of time that remains under recognized.
