The LAC starts today! Currently they're under postponement due to inclement weather but Sailing Anarchy is promising lots of cool coverage with onboard trackers (starting tomorrow), onboard mics, and live from-the-water video feed. Our own JC and Clean are onsite.

Thread in Sailing Anarchy with everything about the event (lots of stuff - you might want to skip to the last couple of pages and start there for the current situation).

While I was looking through the pictures of the event, a "Where's Waldo" type figure kept popping up in the background.

Tomorrow looks much better. Fleet racing to start in the morning to pick the top two. Top two will match race for the cup and they're debating about what the rest of the fleet will do.

This one should be a little easier. For Dave Mosley I'm not on the left,you have to figure the rest out for yourself.

Tawd,
Good company. They can be the first to win the AC and LIC.

how do you transport those wings? do they break down into pieces that could fit on a regular trailer?

Ben Hall had one for his A cat that was in two pieces, top to bottom, they slid apart 'Laser Mast' style, and stacked into a metal box on his boat trailer, between the hulls of his A cat. It was a very slick set up he had, not sure where that went, haven't seen it being used in a few years but it was an interesting concept.

There was a A Class with a wing on it on the Oracle base when they were building the tri. I remember seeing it on pics. Maybe it was the one from Ben Hall?

Yes - the Ben Hall Winged A-cat was the one that Oracle used.
