Forty-knot gusts wreaked carnage on day one of the Express 27 Nationals at Tiburon YC held earlier this month. One boat was dismasted and another broke its boom. Several sailors ended up in the water. The breezes also provided plenty of downwind planing for the 21 boat fleet. The winner was Will Paxton's Motorcycle Irene. Photo by Ralph Deeds.

The trick when your boat is not involved in anything too spectacular and usually embarrassing is to sail past the hero of the day to appear on their photographic real-estate... This is part of the carefully crafted PR strategy for Elise. Just kidding :)
