CURLEW
Hi Paul
Got back safely, easy trip. We took some onboard video I thought you might like to see. http://sailcurlew.com/americas-schooner-cup-3--21-15.php
Aside from the obvious, the opportunity to connect and sail with other Schooners, what continues to impress us the most is the hospitality of the Silver Gate Yacht Club and how well the event overall is managed.
The race this year provided conditions that varied form rail down sailing to ghosting calms, which makes for an exciting combination and draws on all ones skills.
Class A, despite some wide variance in ratings, actually was a pretty tight boat for boat race, making it all the more interesting. The addition of the two tall ships this year, The Californian and Bill of Rights, was great and I am sure made the event much more spectacular for the shore side spectator.
The fact that the event drew the Schooner Martha and Dirigo II from the Pacific Northwest speaks highly to the status the event is achieving. We have April 2nd 2016, set aside in our calendars.
Best Regards
Bob
