I wnrt aboard that leaner while at Atlantic City Sail Expo. Now I cannot remember if meeting B Chance and going to his lecture, meeting Vlad Murnikov and seeing his mxrsy, and seeing 49er all happened same year or different years. Oh I remember talking to Johnstone and Carroll there too. Haha...

So happy to hear this! (Not the shrimping, but the racing). As for scary moments at the Golden Gate, if G.S. were still alive he could tell you multiple stories...fortunately everyone always came home even if just barely a few times.
In 1990 we sailed PRETTY PENNY as a spectator of the MM Regatta. We got a nice close look at ALMA, and CALIFORNIAN, and a whole bunch of Birds, Folkboats, gorgeous CCA period boats and it was just a perfect windy day on the bay. I have a VHS of the day but need to dig it up and then get a VCR...
