I'm for it (Pro's or Olympians sailing in regatta's).

There are not many sports that you can say that you participated with the best in the world.

*Distance Running (10k, 15k, 1/2 Marathon, Marathon)
*Sailing

Are the only two that I'm aware of (although someone mentioned golf -- but only if you win the Amateur title).

So, as tshan mentioned, I'd like to:

- look at how they rig their boat,
- watch what tactics they use while sailing
- try and keep up
- listen to the stories so that I can
- learn a little more
