I've been watching some of the video feeds, photos of the event site, and Google Earth, and can not see how they will be able to compare this...

I didn't email any complaints, but was notified that the next event would be streamed at no additional cost. The streaming video was good for me,...
Watching the races going on now, using the AC+ app. Cameras on each boat, and a race cam. I guess $8 is reasonable considering I can't be there,...
I just got an email from an AC media rep. The only way to watch this weekend's event, if you are in the US, is over the free AC+ app for IOS and...

I bought into the DF class because it is a one design class, NOT to race against the RG65s. If there are "open" RG65s, so be it, but that's not...
One way I have done it is to place a sheet of plexiglass over the entire hull. Mark it with a marks-a-lot about 1/2 inch inside the hull and cut...
