Long Beach, California | First boats are around the A-pin in the first race... hopefully we'll see some social media updates. Six boats; three Nacra F16s, two Vipers and one Falcon F16. Light breeze (about 6-7 knots) for the first race.
Good luck teams, RC and volunteers - here's hoping for a trouble-free event!

Long Beach, California | Last day, and only two races scheduled. By 1:00pm local time, it will be on the books. Looks like some history will be made; Sarah Newberry and Kenny Pierce could literally take the day off. This will be the first woman skipper to win the Alter Cup. There hasn't been a woman's name on the trophy since the event was hosted in CT on Hobie 16s in 2003, when Mike and Kathy won a very tough event.

Sebring, Florida. | How old is Sarah now?
Is she still "Junior" eligable?
Congrats, great to see a young woman hammering the old farts! This mixed multi Olympic thing could catch on!
