Special thanks to Tom Scott, who agreed to give up his annual November cruise and use Whimsy to serve as our race committee and chief videographer. The color commentary is a riot! Here are the videos taken from the race committee boat at the 2010 Sun Cat National Championship Regatta: The start of racing: To [...]

Here are a few of the photos taken at the 2010 Sun Cat Nationals. There are many more to come, but these are some of my favorites. Update! Charlie posted a photo album here.
