NY Statue Race

Team Velocity held down the fort this weekend at the 2007 Statue of Liberty Race in New York Harbor. Trey and I received line honors as the first boat to finish and also first in our class (NACRA 20) which was also the largest class of boat in the race this year. For the full race story and more pictures, check out http://www.velocitysailing.com/. Thanks to the SHBCC (Sandy Hook Bay Catamaran Club) in New Jersey for hosting the race.
In other news, congratulations to my good friends Tad Pecorac and Kate Quinn as they celebrated their wedding this last Saturday. Trey, Jen and I were in Maryland this last week for their reception and stayed with James Boicourt. After a day playing with boats in MD, James Trey and another buddy Paul and I treated Tad to a bachelor party we hope that he won't soon forget. (Tad sailed in the Tybee 500 in 05 and 06 for Team Velocity and James was the team manager and boat repairman.) We had a great time visiting with all of them in MD before driving up to New Jersey for the statue race.
