Just after lunch it was announced that :
1215: Still waiting! Wind is swinging 50 degrees at 4 knots to nothing. Variable is putting it mildly.
1330: It's official! No races were started today due to insufficient wind. The 2007 Alter Cup is in the record books as complete with twelve (six pairs) races sailed and winners as posted yesterday. The RC and teams are on their way back in, and competitors are gathering to help pack up the boats and for the awards.
And the winners are clearly John Casey and John Williams !
The final standings are :

The location looked superb and alot of respect and thanks to the organisers, volunteers and the repair-staff.
Florida looks like a great state for sailing !
And as a final word, because I just can't resist it, lightweight and being though can indeed go hand in hand. I feel more sorry for the scattered crab pods. The winds, chop and crews did their worst and the Blade F16 held through. A big two tumbs up to Vectorworks Marine.
Also note that this was the first production run of the new high aspect and lightweight daggerboards. Not a single one broke and that does not have much precedent. Brought to you by the company
www.catamaranparts.nl . The Glaser sails looked absolutely beautiful and did exactly what they were suppost to do. A big thank you to the suppliers.
Now we know that John Casey and John Williams are a lethal combination. F18 worlds 2008 boys ?
