What a great event!

We had varying conditions from 6kts and flat water to 23kts and brutal short chop. Div 3 really put on a good show for this one. And the sailing was second to none. Here's a short view of what I saw all week:
The Aussie team of Aaron Worrall and Brad Wilson
Puttin the smack down!
(Fiji)

Followed by Armando and Rodrigo (Mex)
Thomas and Fortuna (Hobie Team, Smoke #4)
and Team Puerto Rico (Green Sails)


Armando and Rodrigo flipped at A mark and lost a rudder pin. Aaron and Brad asked the race committee to hold the next race until they fixed the boat. Very Cool!!

Armando and Rodrigo showing us how it's done:


PU set some awesome courses, coupled with the conditions in the bay proved to be challenging the racers.



The 20's were just as exciting.
The young punks Jake and Vinnie had their moments and are fun to watch when they're doing trapeze head stands.


The Champs Jamie Livingston and Brian Lambert
