For those of you over seas who don't know, Nigel Pitt is a U.S. National Champion in several cat classes over here, and I believe an Alter Cup champ as well. He used to race with Alex Shafer on the Tommy Bahamma I-20 and then in the F18 class, he is new to the F16, this being only his first regatta on it I think, or maybe his second.

Nigel is always fast no matter what he's sailing, no doubt!

I was crewing for Andi on my Blade, we were close to and in front of Nigel at times but he always seemed to find a way to the front, even after we burried him on the start line once.

It was great fun playing cat and mouse with him. His wife Tammy was crewing for him and she said she likes trimming the smaller spin on the F16 (vs. the F18 or I20) and Nigel said he would be sailing it with his 12 yr. old daughter at Spring Fever.
