OK, I want to see the shot where you're zooming past that J-100!

One other cool boat perhaps you can help me ID. It had an emblem of
crossed main sails one sail red one blue, have any ideal what that may
be?


One of these

Vanguard 15, popular with the recently-graduated college
crowd... in fact I think a few college teams have bought
them too (a mistake IMHO). They are fun boats, they can
plane upwind. Good all-around simple class racer, not
technical and very rewarding of skills with stick, sheet,
and balance. If your boat can beat one of these around a
course, that would be fairly impressive.

Yelp thats it. We ran neck to neck on most tacks.

I'm not really racing these guys on the course, just hang out in the
crowd and race anyone going the same way on anything. Maybe with some
more practice ll head to the bar and sign up. There were so many boats
going so many directions it was wild, almost had a J 24 run straight
into me, I fell off the wind to get out of his way, he started going
down. luckly someone yelled to him to come up and he missed me, I
heard the helmsman say he never saw me. After the races they had the
boats pass in review in front of the bar for pictures then everyone
sortta just sailed around. One boat named " Whine Cooler" had an all
female crew in Pink bikinis :0)
