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!
From US Sailing's tweet: Race 1 top 3: 1. Sarah Newberry and Kenny Pierce, 2. Sandra Tartaglino and Glenn Holmes, 3. Streater... 7-8 knots on Pensacola Bay.
For those not twiter enabled is there an old school site were we can catch the results?
They are on the US Sailing site - http:/
I've got updates on Facebook as I get them...
Holy picket fence, Batman. It's a race for second for sure...
US Sailing is doing a great job on the updates. This is a huge improvement.

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.
Nice job by Sarah, but a championship with only six boats?
Nice job by Sarah and Kenny, period. She's no slacker, nor are the others.

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!
