Rick is now on the scene at Jupiter Beach. It is about 15 minutes before the start, and there is a big old thunderstorm sitting just offshore. The sailors are looking at it anxiously. No word of postponement at this point.

Another note is that so far five spinnakers have ripped on the Nacra 20's in the first two days. All the failures have been at the same point on the same seam. All stock Nacra Skip Elliott sails. All have had their sails repaired/resewn, and others with those sails have tried to get theirs resewn/reinforced to prevent failure.
