I've heard about it but haven't seen it yet. One of the photographers that works there is part of the Rhapsody crew and gave me a heads up last week. I've got to get away from work so I can get a copy.

Thanks - I just saw the online version. Unfortunately it's a small image, so I'll have to wait until the real magazine is on the shelf. It's a picture of Rhapsody covering Time Bandit (MetalMast 30) in one of the Jamestown YC Tuesday night PHRF races.

Wonder why nobody on Time Bandit notices they're being rolled?

The redhead is a cutie.

Maybe Time Bandit overtook Rhapsody from clear astern so had no luffing rights. Ouch. Just kidding Bill. (-:

look at where the poles are ... I betting they are going as high up as they can ... racing around nav marks instead of WL can be more fun sometimes.

And it is just possible that Bill can run his spin a bit higher.

A Metalmast 30 taking a J to leeward? NFW.

but 348 running half crew ... I betting Bill was blowing past them to the mark after a "handicap hoist."

us J30s often do Handicap Hoists ... that's when we try to race spin with 2 or 3 crew.

Only surpassed by Delayed Douses ...
