Another Championship

Been too busy to blog over the last couple weeks with North Sails Design services finishing some Virtual Wind Tunnel and VPP studies for the 100' Alfa Romero, VPP/CFD development for a canting keel 80'er in build at McConaghy Boats and load annalyisis for a 90' Cat. Hopefully my lack of blogging does not get me kicked out of the Moth Class!

The US Fleet just finished a tune up regatta in the Gorge. The West Coast fleet has been getting pretty impressive where half the racers were former olympic sailing team memebers. Kevin Hall used his North Sail with Southern Mast in the 1st half of the regatta to devistating effect. Adam Lowry also used the V10 mainsail to great effect and posted a 5th (Did I mention Adam is 6'6" and 89kg).

Nice Video, also from Pacific Fog of the racing- check out Kevin motor by everyone off the line.
