12 METER NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP

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.

 

 

 

 

 

DRIVING MISS DAISY

The New York Yacht Club is the creator and host of the international cup. going into it’s final day tomorrow. 1o races have been sailed and the Royal Canadian Yacht Club is hold ing first place. The NYYC team is in second, with the Annapolis Yacht Club in third.

Today the racing was outside, on Rhode Island Sound, in a very shifty northwest breeze. The pressure was as variable as the direction.
