BIRW not dead

[PeterRoss]

Does he keep the watch? Or give it to the pro?

Looks like I picked a good year to skip  this one. seven, six and five races across all divs in five days ouch. There should be a thread of BIRW stories from 40,30,20, years ago, To celebrate this amazing week long regatta and partying spectacular. There are lots of sailors here that we’re there back then. Share some fun and positive stuff. I’m tired of the bitching and moaning about ratings, ORC sails and pros. How about some positive BIRW fun we all experienced.

Based on there performance  the 2 regatta's in Newport prior to Block, the Pro should get the watch.

Were they giving out Casio's this year?

Remember Mount Gay rented armored truck and police escort to deliver rum to Champlains in 1977? Nobody had heard of it before that party but everybody remembered it next day
