I just want to chime and say what a terrific week we had at the Alter Cup this year in Long Beach, CA. We're back home now (and I'm unfortunately already at work after the red-eye flight last night) John and gang ran a flawless event. The Hobie supplied Tigers were awesome and considering the number of races run and the different teams that sailed them between the Worlds and the Alter Cup that the boats held up beautifully with hardly any non-sailor generated problems besides a couple of small block failures (likely due to sand intrusion) and a couple rudder cams that needed adjustment throughout the week. Although the heaviest teams like us were wishing for a serious blow to strut our stuff, the venue was spectacular with steady breeze all week long. Los Alamitos Yacht Club was a wonderful host. Thanks all for the hard work that went into making this event so incredibly enjoyable!

Regards,
