100251 - I don't recognize that sail color scheme. The sail number would place it from the early '90s. Maybe a factory/demo boat?

Small pictures - The top two and bottom appear to be from the '03 NAs at Dewey Beach, DE. 105220 is Ken Nelson. The third picture appears to be from the '02 Worlds in New Caledonia(?).

This photo is from a promotional poster produced by the Mexican fleets in 1999. The caption on this particular photo says it's from Progreso, Yucatan. The contact person for that Fleet at the time was Alberto Ponce Gutierrez, who I believe is our host for the Worlds.

The image has been Photoshopped to change the colors (the orignial colors were (from the foot of the main) teal, teal, yellow, yellow, red, red, dk blue, blue, blue). Otherwise, the photos are identical, right down to the wrinkle in the leech of the jib and the spray coming off the leeward bow..

I knew someone could figure it out. Can you post the original picture?

The original picture is hanging on the wall in my office - which I won't see again until May 17!

See you tomorrow in Mexico, Bob - you have to let us know what Gavin's been teaching you.
