Our friends at CupInfo.com sent us this photo of the Scuttlebutt on the 175-foot USS Constitution, called "Old Ironsides" because cannonballs could not penetrate her tough oak sides. Restored in 1925, the ship now serves as a museum at the Charleston Navy Yard in Boston, MA. It’s good to know the Scuttlebutt was well protected.




The Scotiabank International Optimist Regatta had sailors from 10 countries at the St. Thomas Yacht Club in the U.S.V.I. Photo by Dean Barnes.




The 59th Giraglia Rolex Cup, organised by the Yacht Club Italiano in conjunction with the Société Nautique de Saint-Tropez (St.Tropez, France / Genoa, Italy), hosted 194 entrants from 20 countries for three days of inshore racing (June 19-21) and A 243 nm offshore race on June 22.
