I wish I had natural talent like Spithill. If he can jump into the A Cat class and have a 2nd place finish in high winds, then he deserves to be sailing AC Cup boats...especially if they are cats!
Anyone got any scoop from him on what we will be sailing in the AC or DoG? Corner him over a beer Jeremy!


You know who else is amazing is Enrique. He can hop on a 16, A class, Tiger, etc and basically figure it out. Listening to he and Lars talk about tuning, strategy etc is pretty cool. E. was trying to convert his knowledge from sailing spi boats to the A class. Looks like he figured it out. He'xs going to hop on a 16 at the 40th this weekend. To transfer knowledge between boats like that is amazing. A lot of these guys are so good they make it look easy. Look at Spithill, same thing. They tapped into some knowledge.

I guess this does look kind of like an a class:

Just goes to show it's not really the boat that makes for a good finish, it's the raw talent of the skipper.

This whole fleet is made up of exceptional sailors, and good people in general!
