Last night’s Mexican hijinx was a night to remember. The Mexican spirit flowed liberally and stick on moustaches ponchos and sombreros were all the rage.

Sinking of a J24

Two J24s, Kaizen and Fun2, were caught in a “freak” water spout during the Queen of the Gulf Regatta.

Kaizen, unfortunately, almost sunk completely straightaway, with only the tip of the mast visible. Later, the wind increased to 50 knots and with 3m seas, Kaizen was pushed toward shore. Her keel was lost, and she was [...]
