Great video. I would suggest mentioning two additional selling points of your race. First, you have a special exception to be able to round close to the statue. Secondly, it is one of the very few open class events in the area.
Thanks Matt. It's also worth mentioning that traditionally we have an "outing" for the larger cats the day before the Statue Race (that would be July 1st this year). We sail to the
Ambrose Lighthouse , off the tip of Sandy Hook in the Atlantic, and back. This is the last beacon before ships enter NY Harbor. If you remember Francis Joyon's record for his (last) cross Atlantic Crossing on IDEC a few months ago, the Ambrose Lighhouse marked the official starting line of his trip. So if you come down for the weekend, there's definitely enough sailing to do...
