I was at the event on Sunday. Great day for watching! We were camped out right on the pier next to the USS Midway. There are two fingers you can go to the end of without a pass. The middle one you cannot. That is where most of the teams are. We were right next to actually looking over the leeward mark, then the finish line. That is the best place to watch unless you buy a pass to be on the Midway, which would be a great seat but no closer to the action.
