Club has wi-fi, though, so now that boats are assembled and the fleet has arrived, I expect the smack to start simmering.
Committee has indicated the fleet needs to be at the boats at noon today - there will be practice at 1 PM or so. Nice breeze. REALLY nice club. I have always loved the way 10 identical boats look, all lined up and shiny-new.
I'm really excited to be here. I hear that the host has official coverage starting today.

If you ask me, Alter Cup is an excellent marketing opportunity to showcase a new model and get the buzz going...not that the C2 doesn't already have it!!! C2 Photo @ Alter Cup Practice Day

I just remembered...
They sold 19 boats. More than what the Alter cup requires.

I have asked the author if I can post one of the pictures. I know many family and friends that make their daily livelihood from intellectual property, accordingly I am sensitive to posting anyone's work without an OK.
Go ahead and register....They will not bite. BTW, there is a neat feature that allows you to follow a topic.

The first 5 teams stay in the A fleet. The bottom 5 teams will go into the B fleet and go back out onto the water.
Actual Start Time: 11.55 Conditions – Blowing between 11 and 14 Knots, lumpy Windward Mark – Easton, Schafer, Melvin, Glaser, Casey, Tomko, Marshack, Ingram, Hoog, Gillespie Roundings at the bottom: Easton, Melvin, Schafer, Glaser, Tomko, Casey, Marshack, Ingram, Gillespie, Hoog Windward Mark: Easton, Melvin, Schafer, Tomko, Glaser, Casey, Ingram, Marshack, Gillespie, Hoog Sailor in the water at the top turned out to be the defending champion John Casey. Unfortunately that made them slip from 6th to 9th place. As he says though –'the day's not over yet!'
Finish time: Approx 12.25
Finishing order: Position Skipper Name Notes
1 Easton 2 Melvin 3 Schafer 4 Tomko 5 Glaser 6 Marshack 7 Ingram 8 Gillespie 9 Casey 10 Hoog
Protests – Gillespie seeking re-dress – updates to follow.
Other:
Tartaglino will not get re-dress for a bungee breaking that was holding the tack line. A picture of the judges deliberating.
Easton team looked very strong out front – see picture of Mike Easton and crew Tripp Burd | | | Re: Alter Cup
