Annapolis, MD | Huge congratulations to the west coast Hobie 16 fleet for making the upcoming championship prior to the RED BULL AC45 series a success. The second championship of the new format looks like a good sign for the future.
22 boats registered will be the largest Multihull championship for USSA ever!!!
Saw this name on the competitor list
22. Hobie Alter ? Scott Alter
Hobie 16
HOBIE CLASS
I assume that this is the second and third generation of the Alter clan? Nice!

| Love it or hate it, the new format is here.
As a reminder, here are some changes we've made, based upon the feedback from the survey. None of these came easily. Huge thanks to Laura and the committee for listening to our requests...
Rotated to double handed discipline.
Rotated to west coast.
Added clinic to pre-regatta activities.
First race is scheduled for Thursday. Wish I could be out there.
Can anyone beat Enrique?

| Anything on Youtube? I'm really enjoying the AC45s, wish there was more such coverage.

| There are supposed to be "video highlights" per the press release. Don't expect anything in the same galaxy as what you're seeing with Oracle's money being spent on the AC events.
I believe that funds were being made available for video in place of provided sails, but that discussion happened a while ago.

| Pete,
YouTube replays are available for races 1 - 4 at this hour. Races 5 & 6 are forthcoming this evening. Read, Outteridge (sic), and Harris are the commentators. Video coverage is spot on.
Americas Cup YouTube channel streams to a big flat screen via 'Smart TV' or DVD Blue Ray player with YouTube wireless.
Hopefully, there will be YouTube coverage as Mike suggests... probably with the AC action.

Annapolis, MD | Wow... those conditions were all over the board.... Who would have predicted given all of the too much wind cancellations in the Loui Vouton and Red Bull cups.

| H16 is a great boat. Good to see the cup back where it began.
I think this format is a winner.

| Five races today, four more bullets for Enrique (and one OCS).
Nice race shaping up for second place, a virtual 3-way tie.
