A Sunday afternoon sail turn into a whole world of hurt for the skipper on Go To Red. What was supposed to be a routine gybe turned in the a massive wipe out for the skipper as the main sheet picked him up and deposited him the leeward side of the boat with a massive thud. Some bruised ribs and an even bigger dint to his ego was the only damage, it was not too bad as he was fitting fit for racing the following weekend. The team at GTR Racing will not miss the runners on their Mumm 36 when they make the switch to a J109 next summer.

It was two years ago in May. I was teaching an instructional passage, and we were in Bermuda waiting for weather to allow us to continue north to Newport. Of course, we knew that the America’s Cup was happening. Still, the absolute mind-boggling spectacle of seeing those boats…..doing that! As we entered the outer bay near Hamilton, there, right in front of us, was Oracle, sitting in the water, getting coached up by her chase boats. Now not more than 40-50 yards away, the crew trimmed in the wing sail. The boat lurched a little, started moving….then bam! Like the Starship Enterprise in the Star Trek movies, it popped up, onto its’ foils, and was off at nearly 40 knots. Warp speed Scotty!
