Erin Maxwell and Isabelle Kinsolving (USA) celebrating with their coach Skip Whyte after winning the Sail Melbourne Asia Pacific Regatta in Australia, coming out on top of the 48-boat fleet, 16 points ahead of 2nd place. This event was a warm-up for their World Championships which is now underway.  The fleet of FJs for the college sailing team at the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT. Photo submitted by Ian Isdanavage.  Sailed in Topaz dinghies, Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club is host this weekend to sailors aged between 12 and 18 from local and international schools to take part in the 6th Bowne Inter-Schools Sailing Festival.  Charlie Meding of New London, New Hampshire was out training on Lake Sunapee for the World Ice and Snow Sailing Association event on February 10-17, 2008 at Val Brilliant, Quebec. The ice was thin and full of holes, but the wind was onshore and Charlie stayed up and over the areas where the water below was shallow. Photo by William Tuthill.  Yachties from all over the world have been crying in their (over-poured) cocktails at the news of Maddie's closing in Marblehead, MA. Perhaps this photo will help to remember the good times.  The Acura Key West event has been dealing with uncharacteristic weather this week, battling with either too much or too little. This photo by Billy Black is from one of the good days.
