I watched it too and I will tell you it made me cringe a little bit. I started my racing life crewing on an Etchells and then a J36, then a J35 back when they first came out, and the skipper was a screamer, just like some of those guys on that program, and as I watched it I remembered why I left him and got my own racing boats, with fewer and fewer crew! Man, I don't miss that!

And I thought it was supposed to be an "Amature" type race? Ken Reed was running the show on the winning NYYC boat, he's about as Pro as you can get!
