    See that masthead genoa on Coyote - all 18 bazillion square feet of it? We watched Steve grind that sucker in repeatedly while short-tacking through Raccoon. I'm making sure I never piss that guy off.

    Great pictures Sue.

    While Christine and I were heading to the Sarcoma Cup line we saw some of the bigger boats flying under the Bay Bridge on the flood and I remarked "That looks like Ragtime doing the race, But not Ragtime!.. The Ragtime." She didn't believe me.

    Default Ragtime (Spencer 65)

    "That looks like Ragtime doing the race, But not Ragtime!.. The Ragtime."[/QUOTE]

    Yes, I wish we had gotten a picture when we had a chance. There we were, pre-start in the (windy) Richmond Channel reaching at about 7 kts. on port tack. Coming straight at us on starboard are about 5 or 6 boats, also reaching at a fast clip. But, some of these boats are pretty big. I recognize "Q", but what is that BIG black boat with all carbon sails headed straight at me, and where am I going to go? Without many options, we all hold course and I thread between Q and, YES, it's THE Ragtime (Spencer 65) roaring by just to leeward of me. What a sight, black hull, had chine and carbon sails! They must have been doing at least 10 kts.

    No photo, but a great memory.
