Banderas Bay Regatta Racing

Some photos of the races.
This is Vamanos, a 45 foot super cat that darts around like the Roadrunner passing Wiley Coyote.

They flew a hull as they crossed the start line. The crew are obviously professionals. Anyone else would tip the thing over as it is so fast and loaded up.

Closer up of the beauty:

I thought that was SV Moontide next to us but I see now it is S/V RotKat. They are a fast boat too.

SV Moontide above is a 47 foot Lagoon. They usually started behind us but gradually would come up and pass us. No substitute for longer waterline!

Meet SV Cat to Fold. This boat is a great concept and sails fast too. The boat collapses as the two hulls come together and then it can be trailered. Brian sailed fast, finishing higher each day.

All in all we had a great group of people and boats in our Cruising Cat Class.

Below is the "Performance Monohull" start followed by the SV Destiny, previously owned by Howard Hughes, who sailed in the Cruising Monohull class.

Larry's favorite list has been altered again.

Favorite things from our cruising year:
1) Banderas Bay Regatta
2) Barra de Navidad
3) San Juanico on the Sea of Cortez

Let's see if our journey north can top any of these.
