32 Worlds Video and Photos »

October 6, 2010

Despite that the Samba did not have the overall result that we were hoping for, there is no disputing that the racing during the 32 Worlds was some of the best I have ever experienced.  With mark roundings sometimes going 5 boats wide, the fleet ripping downwind at 17-20 kts shoulder to shoulder with other 32s, and crash scenes reminiscent of a NASCAR pileup, it will be hard to replicate this type of racing in the future.  Sure, the talent will be back and the numbers in the fleet will probably grow, but there is no place like San Francisco Bay to race these awesome boats. Below are some videos and photos that help to capture in the week of the Melges 32 Worlds:

Sharon Green has her usual great photos which are featured on her site.

Videos of every race and interviews with top competitors can be found on the Sailgroove site. Race 1-6 are pretty entertaining…
