When Gordo pulled that maneuver off, the whole fleet was hootin and hollerin for him. The race committee and chase boats down course were all cheering...it was pretty cool. The absolute domination (a few times by one leg, often by a tack!) of the aussies at this event being upset by this guy from Las Vegas was pretty cool to watch.
The competition was fierce in the 16 fleet. Aussies, Puerto ricans, Noriega, Thomas, Modderman, not to mention the local heavyweights Hess and Montegue. And a slew of other top notch sailors. I love chase boatin' at events like this. It's a front row seat to world class sailing.


It's all fun and games!

I love these guys!
