Vintage AC Racing

As most of you know, a bunch of rather antiquated IACC boats got together in the Frisco Bay last week to have a "regatta." It was that in name only, as not only were these various vintage IACC widely spread out on the race course, there was a skunk at the party in the form of Larry Ellison. We're not dissing him, but he pulled a reversal of the classic "bring a knife to a gun party" by not only showing up with newest generation of IACC boat, USA 76, but also importing his top notch crew, including Chris Dickson calling tactics. Of course he decimated the fleet, mostly by embarrassing deltas, and it only added to the farcical notion of actually racing these things on any real even level of competition. Oh well. Our friend, Eric Simonson of www.h2oshots.com was nice enough to provide these shots for us. Good times.
