We have a great team of people bringing the racing and results to you.  Molly Riley is back as a photographer and video editor.  Sap Grads Hobie Ponting and Madeline Gill will be tweeting and facebooking and posting on our web site as well as collecting video.  This will be the more extensive coverage to date and maybe next year we will even progress to live video coverage.  Speaking of video make sure you check out the Oakcliff Grand Slam intro video which is being uploaded to the Oakcliff Web Site Here.

Also you can link to  all of the news and results from the box on the homepage.

If you have your own boat come out to Cold Spring Harbor and listen in on VHF 69 for updates.

We also have some spectator spots available with meeting times of, 9, 12 and 3.  If you would like to take advantage of this please schedule in advance with Bill Simon via email and you can also call him on (516) 662-4926.  

Again times: 9:00 at Oakcliff
12:00 meet at OBMC dock
3:00 meet at OBMC dock

We race with 40 crew and it takes ALL hands to take the spinnaker down.

We needed 80 sandwiches each day ... and yes I helped make them.

The walk to the boat in the morning was indeed beautiful.

We had a female tactician, navigator and primary trimmer added to a really wonderful owner, family and permanent crew that kept the boat together, fast and fun.

Oh - and - We won!  :-)

 

It is now day 25 of my personal 43 days of chaos. I am headed out to umpire the Oakcliff International for one day and tomorrow I'll be jetting out to San Francisco to do VIP commentary for the America's Cup. That should be interesting! 

I hope to see many of you tonight at the pizza party or on the road or on a plane or on a boat. Oakcliff is tumbling into the  fall season and we hope you'll jump on for the ride.
