Alter Cup – Setup Day #1
by Jake on Apr.22, 2007, under Racing!
I’m now in Melbourne, FL helping to get setup for the US Sailing Multihull Championship. We spent the entire day setting up the 10 Vectorworks Marine Blade F16s – and things went very well. We’ve not had to drill one hole, set one rivet, or go to a marine supply store yet once! Matt and his gang put in a terrific effort in not only preparing the boats, but the sextuple stack and it’s trailer and supporting structure was an engineering feat to behold! (click the image to go to more photos). Shown here is Matt as he disassembled some of the mast supports. Tomorrow is more of the same. We expect to get the masts stepped by noon and start checking out sails. Tuesday is a practice day and the racing starts on Wednesday…stay tuned!

Where are we going to be able to find the best coverage of the event? Here, US Sailing, Catsailor, Melbourne YC?
Later,
