racing in San Diego with Chris Dickson. It must have been 1992/3. It looks
really impressive with good quality filming. If we could do something
similar in Auckland with modern boats during the AC then it would be
excellent!

Tha 14 video you saw was shot in 1988 or so, and it was a one design 14
Supercup
associated with the AC when the cat went up against the Big Boat (which now
sits as a very large umbrella on the hard at the Auckland waterfront). It
had representatives from many of the 14 sailing countries there. Dickson was
a guest hotshot, and finished about in the middle. I think Will Henderson
won, James Hartley second? We had the distinction of hitting Dickson when he
doused too early and we doused too late at the leeward mark. It went
downhill from there, and we finished in the middle too.
Anyway, it was run right next to the AC village on the San Diego waterfront,
and with lots of short races and an announcer got great spectator following.
Grant, Tim, what about setting it up in Auckland for the next round?
