Following is a post in the Scuttlebutt blog from George Szabo, Salesman/sailor for Quantum sails, about the fourth race of the Bacardi Cup. As someone who counts racing in the big regattas and the chance to race aainst the big boys as the pinnacle of my time in the sport, it is really disheartening to hear what he thinks, sailing in the Bacardi Cup, about sailing with "us":
"This big trend changed our race from the low 20’s to the mid sixties, which officially turned our last beat into a ‘meet the fleet’ leg. We got to see all sorts of people I hadn’t seen in awhile. This race now moved our overall score to the top of the second page of the results."

Frustration notwithstanding, he doesn't hold a candle to guys like Mark Reynolds, Greg Fisher, Vince Brun, etc. in the class department

Can't wait to intro George to the fleet again....
