Some friends and I chartered a sailboat and watched two days of AC34 racing on San Francisco Bay. Here are a few snapshots from our trip:

One of the support boats towing a start mark out to the course:



Team New Zealand foiling:



Team USA foiling:



The two boats racing:



Team USA approaching the edge of the course and preparing to tack. If you look closely, you can see the green boundary light on the boat. We were watching from the other side.



And, just for grins, a spectator boat with NZ fans:

I hope you enjoy the pics,
