See you at the party!
Forecast looks light for A to O. Multi-time winner Kris Hathaway crewing for John Baker on the fastest Nacra 20 ever built ((TM) are set for another win. John Geiger with crew Rob are weapons in the forecast light downwind conditions. Team Pitts on the Blade F16 are always fast, and pro sailor Jahn Tihansky sailing an A-Cat could be a dark horse in the light conditions. Other dark horses are Chris Bolton on a Hobie 20 with spin, Ed Mills on the Falcon F16 and Paul Mikucki sailing our old pro-rigged and tuned F18 Infusion.
As for team Teunis/Carter, we're on a new to us Infusion Mk.2, nick named
Turbine
and just planning to make it to Oxford in one piece while leaving the largest wake possible.
Turbine? Should be
VISE-GRIP
or better yet
VICE-GRIP
.
Jahn was on a 20 which had some mast misfortune , so not sure he's still going.
Good Luck and have fun.
What is
geat
?
Is it important for my boat to be geat? Do geat boats win more races? Is it expensive to make a geat boat?
