Any chance us cyber spectators could get the low-down on the Nationals? Looks like it was one for the books from the pictures. I'd be interested to know a) that no one was hurt on Exocet (what a crunch) b) how the Regatta Pro experience went and c) What were Attitude Adjustments keys to success (Jeff Thorpe wheeling it probably didn't hurt, but what a setup on that thing! Is there any teak left on it?).

Have to admit all of the below-deck, double-ended controls on AA make me nostalgic for dinghy racing. I also noticed based upon some of the pictures (which are superb, by the way), that they seem to part of the "traveller-up, twist-off" contingent. On the one shot (805.jpg), the jib car looks pulled in farther inboard than it would be with the stock track, sheet eased, main traveller on centerline (probably "up" for the conditions) and mainsheet "eased." More and more, it seems like this is the way to go on the Express. Also looks like one of Quantum's new Fusion M's up front....
