Rum Race # 7 falls the eve of 911 ten year anniversary, in respect of those of this tragedy, I would like to suggest that if you happen to have and American on board that you fly it. Just my thoughts, the choice is yours to make, spread the word please. "KATANA"

A truly GREAT idea.

Absolutely. The Soverel will be flying the US flag (as well as our class flag

)

Helpful link on flag etiquette, more than you probably ever wanted to know!

Were did the wind come from 18 to 19 knots is was so post to be 8 knots. Figaro you sailed a great race.
As I drove home to Katy Tx(70 miles) I was listening to AM radio( yes I am getting old) and they were replaying talk shows from ten years ago and I makes me think that there is no better place to than USA, and I know this for a fact because my job has me traveling all over the world, I think a fraise from ten years age best describes the American Spirit is ? Let?s roll?! We become stronger when tragedy strikes!
My thanks to all that we able to fly a flag and I would say that ?Moon light Mile? should get and award for flying the biggest flag all the way though the race, well done Ed! And he?s from England, what a great sprit! Cheers to all and a good night!

Never forget!
