Awesome read. Great sense of humor and his appreciation for the regatta was apparent.

The “Classic” was GUR-R-R-R-RATE! For the fifty-five buck registration fee comparable to half the gasoline tab for the round trip, we got:
a) a terrific regatta with a broad range of conditions and competitors, (from the sublime to the ridiculous - in both categories),
b) a rare opportunity to enjoy magnificent Lake Lanier via LLSC’s first rate yacht club and primitive camping setup, plus free food, free beer (am I pushing any buttons?), the regatta “T” shirt, and of course,
c) a ticket for the de rigueur raffle of sailboarding gear, which this time included one night stay at a nice B&B in St Marks, but most of all,
d) time to spend with great friends and compatriots in the sport, particularly our hosts who did a fabulous job of making everyone welcome and comfortable.
Nice video by Chris Graves from last year:

So can we get a list of the entrants and some data (wins, age, height, weight) so we can start a Fall Classic Fantasy League?
What happens in a black hole stays in a black hole.
I've already got Kurt and Stanger so don't even bother.
Maybe if it's windy, you can get that guy who had the Formula board last year...

Very witty (and thorough) account of the regatta here:
