Paul Alani sailing an F18 with former Hobie Worlds Youth Representative Jake Sailor (his last name...really...),very nearly won the area G Eliminations Regatta this past weekend in Santa Cruz, California!
Paul Alani, an undergrad. at UC Santa Cruz and former U.K. F16 National Champ,had Sailor's F18 flying round the course! Sunny warm temperatures and double digit wind velocities found the boys atop the very tough regatta field at the end of day one! Sadly,day two of the regatta was raced in little or no wind, effectively dooming the low PN F18 to second place... Paul Alani is one hell of a good sailor and the sudden favorite of the Santa Cruz race crowd! I'll post details of the regatta when time permits...
