On Wednesday’s Lay Day, the organizers arranged for crews to match race on the IACC Charter Boats from Puerto Vallarta – AUS 29 and AUS 31.
Says Ralph Godkin who sailed on AUS 29: “It was surreal! There is nothing more beautiful, majestic, graceful and powerful than an AC boat. They are gorgeous to look at, and fantastic to sail. I couldn’t sleep the night before, I was so excited!”
Jeito, Wasabi, Ruahatu, and Blue Blazes line up for a start in one of Thursday’s Windward/Leeward races - under the watchful eye of PRO Bruce Greene on the Committee Boat.
