From the front page of SA.

Good on you guys.

Todd

p.s. Just keep Clean off the spectator boats.

ummmmm... WHAT?

SA = sailinganarchy.com they had a nice write-up about them

We're at the proverbial "tipping point"...

no doubt...job well done dudes! Chuck should have you on the payroll!

Wait.

There's a payroll? :P

maybe a commission base?

Good going guys. Good for cat sailing in the mainstream!

J

Yeah seriously you guys rock!

JAKE,
You weren't supposed to tell them. Can't trust you with anything.

Trey has been holding onto your paychecks for years. They have been cashed and there will be a shiny, new N20 waiting for you on the starting line.

We've found some kindred spirits in the Tybee 500 challenger Team Velocity Sailing – sponsored by Sailing Anarchy. These guys are doing something we believe in, and we're going to be along for the ride (on shore of course - we're not crazy). We're also hoping that former SCOTW and Olympic hottie Carrie Howe will make good on the promise she made to Mr. Clean the other day – to bring her game to this bad-butt adventure race, and to wear a bikini while she's doing it! Here's more about TVS:

Team Velocity Sailing is a group of young, enthusiastic beach catamaran sailors with humble roots, but grandiose plans. Defying the skeptics from the start, its woefully inexperienced, underprepared founders Trey and Tad competed and finished their first Tybee 500 while still in college.

They say life is a learning experience, and Team Velocity has learned as it has grown. We've competed in national and international events, growing from a single boat held together by college student intuition - to a four boat "syndicate" whose members can proudly boast of their many accomplishments on the water. At its core, Team Velocity is a group of young individuals who thrive on spreading the excitement and thrill of multihull racing to as many people as possible.

We all remember the days of the Worrell 1000 - where teams lined up to take a crack at being the hardest, fastest bastards on two hulls. We remember when legends from the monohull world, from the America's Cup world, from Europe, Australia, and New Zealand - would line up bow-to-bow against some of the best (and some of the worst) in North America to shove off through the breakers into the Atlantic every morning. We want to bring that back - we believe in this race and the life experiences that it gives everyone who participates in it.

The members of Team Velocity Sailing have put together an outsourced logistics program for the 2009 Tybee 500. Anyone who has tried to compete in a race like this knows that the preparations begin months in advance, and that getting to the beach is half the battle. Even outside of preparing boats, hardware, and sailors, the logistical planning that goes into this race is often the one hurdle that intimidates most people out of competing in this epic event.

If you are a cat sailor and you're on the fence about competing, give TVS a shout about handling your logistics. We can arrange your hotels, reserve your ground crew, arrange meals, and handle race paperwork on your behalf – and since no one is making a dime off it, it is surprisingly affordable. We are calling this the Resurgence Program - because we want to bring extreme distance catamaran sailing back to what it was – the baddest racing on the planet.

So get your **** straight, get in touch with us, and lets make it happen. With Sailing Anarchy along for the ride, more people will be part of the 2009 Tybee 500 than ever before – so join us!

big announcement next week.

...if you're watching sailinganarchy.com or velocitysailing.com you'll be the first to know....


....commence rampant speculation :P

(and if you're one of the few that DO know what it is, shush!!!!)

I see there being only two options on what this can be....
1) you are all doing the race in banana hammocks
2) TVS is officially sponsoring the 2009 bikini team

just thinking its your choice on which direction you are choosing to express your masculinity

C'mon Chris you know with Tad and Dr.Binkles involved it'll be #1 so they can ogle each other.

p.s. I've got a secret, I've got a secret. NAAAHHH NNAAaaaaahh,NNnaaaahhhh,nnnaaaahhhh.

titcombs shows his wisdom yet again. He doesn't know how right they is.

I guess I should just come clean....

Depends have released their new line of bananna hammock adult "leakage protection" line. Its meant to be worn as swimwear. After what happened to me in 2006, We went after Depends as a sponsor and they've stepped up big time by providing the whole team with enough bananna hammock depends for the whole team for the whole week.

We're stoked!
:P

(keep speculating...)

For the record, I don't know Tad Pecorak. I've never met him in my entire life. I cannot and will not be held accountable for any damage resulting from his foot in his mouth.

If you don't know me.... why am I in your avatar.... dangling there right next to you? .... on my boat??? :P

Let the Jokes Commence!

Trey just told me "dude, DONT use the word 'dangling' " :P
