I was catching up on deferred emails tonight, and I’m glad I finally got to see it. I had to watch it twice. The first time through I was paying too much attention to the background near the windward mark and looking for my boat. You see, Fred Street, Jim Schwartz, and I were watching the races from Imzadi right along the course boundary about 200 yards SE of the windward mark. She’s one of the MUCH smaller sailboats you see in the background to the left of the J’s as they set spinnakers in some of the shots. The J racing was, to me at least, more memorable than the AC racing. I can still remember the sound of jib and spin sheets groaning from the tension on those god-awful big winches – and the explosion as one of the boats blew up one of the god-awful big spinnakers during a gybe set.

Note the number of crew and the amount of lines flaked out on deck.

Oddly enough, last I checked the 12 Meter class was surprisingly active, not being AC boats didn’t seem to harm the class overall.
