Winds were 12-15 on the 1st 2 races, then built to around 18 with higher gusts. Boy these boats were whipping around the course throwing spray everywhere. Allen Bruce pitchpoled his Tall Rig and retired from the regatta with mechanical difficulties. The Russian olympic sailors had some mechanicals in the 1st race but went to sail great(2,3) on Sunday in 5-12 mph winds. Tom and Kirt Metts sailed consistently to get the #2 spot, just like they did in the Mug Race 2 weeks ago. Bobby Marshall and crew Nathan sailed well also for 4th place in a 2 point difference in the final tally. We have planned and agrred to hold this regatta/Championship again next year, so Thom you put it on your schedule now! Probably the same weekend in May 2004.
The SEACATS website will be updated tonight with the whole story and pictures.

The men were amazed, and said, "What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?" Matthew 8:27
