John McKnight has asked race participants for their personal reports, so I'm sure the collection will get onto this forum eventually.

Just one clarification on Rick's brief report. It sounded to me like he was saying they were using two Hooters and a spinnaker all at the same time. He just meant those were the sail options they had on the boat with them. They initially used the small Hooter, main and jib. When the wind died, they took down the small Hooter and put up the big one. When the wind started picking up again, they took down the big one and put up the small one again. At one point they took down the jib and sailed main and Hooter. When the wind picked up some more, they took down the Hooter entirely and sailed main and jib. (They were never able to use the spinnaker, of course.)

Wow, a big cat sounds like a lot more work than a little one.
