Team Seacats

The F18 Worlds started two days ago … well, yesterday… (I have a hard time figuring out if they are coming or going in Australia) ummmm… this morning was to be the second day of competition.  However, some healthy breeze and a nasty mean chop on the first day of competition left three people in ambulances after the one and only race.  Racing continues to be abandoned until the wind subsides and the boats are relegated to the beach.  See a video of some of the action HERE.  Team Seacats has several friends competing from the US.  Most notably, Team Tybee of John Casey and Kenny Pierce.  JC and Kenny had a mainsheet splice come apart on them just after the start of the first race and elected to go in and replace it to be ready for subsequent races.  They would have just limped around the course had they known that there was only going to be one race for the day.
