I thought this was great, and thanks Pat, for producing this. My only note is that it should be called 3 Kites v. Moth v. 49er. I understand it's easier to assemble kites for this competition (less expensive, 1 person, easy to transport), and Pat, I'm not knocking the race. But as a scientist...
Hello,
The Charles River Open Team Race, hosted by MIT w/ help from Harvard, CBI, BU and some others, is back after a 1 year hiatus. The event is sailed in FJs (provided) and gets a large number of races in efficiently. In 2007, the 42 team, 490-race event was the largest team race ever (the...

I used to work there, so I'm biased (great company, great service, efficient shipping, etc.), but Jamestown Distributors has it for $219/gal. Plus when you get everything else you need (tape, rollers, etc.) their prices are WAY better than West Marine...
