Here are a few shots I took while on regatta duty, I was on the marks boat. There are a couple of the skippers meeting and the like also. A former Catalina 22 National Champion corrected out over the other keel boats. The real fun was the two 25s working hard in the Sunday wind. We have a local PHRF official who has given two identical cat 25s two different numbers based on the skipper experience, Kansas Twister std fin gets 240 and Le Coquellage sails to 250. I asked why they don't both sail at 225 or so and he said they were trying to encourage cruisers to go up against racers. Instead the racers do not show up for the regattas and only race Wednesday nights with real numbers. It made for a small keel boat fleet. Hmmmm.

Thanks, I thought they would generate any number of comments on the race conditions at the 2005 National venue. Guess not.

If you mean who took the pictures, I did from the marks/chase boat. My polarized sunglasses meant I could not see the lcd screen so the shots were free hand. I pointed, waited for the auto focus beep and clicked. I shot 300 meg of pictures @ 5 megapixels, threw out 20%. Posted 50%.
