Sausalito Cup

May 23, 2010

Sausalito YC hosted an invitational match racing event this weekend in J/22s. Eight teams were invited to compete in 56 races over two days. This is what it looked like to photographer Sergei Zavarin on Saturday. "It's amazing how much energy those kids have," said Serge. "I was shooting from an umpire's boat; looks like a lot of organizing in match racing." Sounds like it too; the radio work was constant.
