If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.

Doesn't say where this was... but I believe it was at the BEYC. Family friendly sailing destination! I'll be there in two weeks for the Hobie family fun week.

This is from the Thursday, 11/4 edition of the Scuttlebutt:

BIG WIND - BIG DAY
North Sound, Virgin Gorda, BVI (November 4, 2010) - Big wind visited the BVI
for the final day of fleet racing in the BEYC's Pro Am Regatta, and the
finals of the Harken Scuttlebutt Sailing Club's Championship.

Sailing the IC24s for the Pro Am, Russell Coutts obviously enjoyed the 20+
knot gusts that rolled through the North Sound as he marched unwaveringly to
a 12-point victory over the field of professional sailors who raced with
guests of the resort as their crews. There was a tie for second place
between Ken Read and Peter Holmberg, which Read won on the second
tiebreaker. UK sailor Stu Bithell finished fourth. However, Bithell had to
leave early to go to Australia, so Paul Cayard will take his place in the
match races on Friday, drawing the red hot Coutts as his opponent.

The big wind caused the regatta organizers to shift Harken Scuttlebutt
Sailing Club's Championship Regatta from the IC 24s into Hobie Wave
catamarans (to protect the IC 24s) as the guests at the Bitter End raced for
Harken prizes, and for free nights at the resort at next year's Pro Am
Regatta. Gordon Le Grande of Atlanta, GA was clearly the class of the field
as he and crew Marian Evatt won all six races and scored a 15 point lead
over Mary Jordan who raced with James Beauchamp. Jim Rand and Paul Harrison
won a tie breaker to finish third.

Also competing in the SSC finals was Russell Coutts' 9 year old son Michael,
but he was not scored because his pro sailor dad was along as tactician.
They lead at every mark in the first five races, but dropped to third in the
regatta finale when Michael's tactician took him to the wrong corner on the
first beat. --
