The Hobie Tiger & Dragoon Worlds is going down in South Africa this week, at the cat-sailing paradise of Langebaan langoon. The sun is shining, the wind cranking and the competition fierce. Jesse Fulmer and I are one of two U.S. boats in the Tiger event, and we are doing a little on site reporting..

There were two good races today before high winds stopped play (over 28 knots). Results are up.

It is very cool to see the kids racing on the Dragoons. These small boats have all the toys of their bigger cousin the Tiger (square top, spinnaker, snuffer, self tacking jib) and make an excellent introduction to the Tiger class.

We've posted a few pictures from Saturday and Sunday.
