We aren't hearing much about the Cup itself. What are the future plans? Will you continue to be involved?

Pete,

Yes, I plan to stay on as Chair, we had discussions during the week about the future in conjunction with the youth event and JW is at the AGM in Houston right now trying to sort some things out with US Sailing. The good news is that I was contacted during the week by a manufacturer willing to supply boats in the spring! More on that in the coming weeks. From my perspective the event was a tremendous success, thanks to all to helped make it happen, Jill, Robbie, Greg, and Dan with AHPC and Fun in the Sun, Dick Boblenz with Clearwater Sailing Center and Clearwater Yacht Club, our fantastic PRO, Fairlie Brinkley, Judges Ann Newton, Judy Hanlon, Tom Rinda, and Henry Poole, Mumm for the photos and updates, and everyone else who helped put together this championship. Thank you all.

Day 4 photos are up. I have created a folder for the start sequence of the final race. Check out Spina/Livingston going for broke on Port. It was crazy exciting.

I have also created a folder for the finish sequence of the final race. Top three approaching the finish line were Tomko, Casey, and Spina. JC was leward and ahead and tacked to starboard to set up and protect finish at the pin. Tomko's laying the pin on port and Spina (on port) was close behind Tomko. As all 3 converged on the finish, it got interesting and fast. JC now on starboard is laying the pin at speed. Tomko pirouettes in front of JC. Spina ducks JC and speeds in above JC on starboard and with much more speed than JC, because JC has to slow down behind Tomko. In the excitement Spina almost picks off JC, finishing 4 ft behind JC. Try to imagine the sequence playing out at speed, and with the added yelling. In the last image you see Livingston watching from the leward side. Damn, it was friggin' awesome. It just doesn't get any better then this!

Album Race Day 4 includes the awards ceremony and also pictures of the youth competitors as well as the female competitors. More to come . . .

There's commercial interest in the shots. I've got to let that play its course for now.
