Sorry for my incorrect statement - "For the most part" was construed with the crews I spoke with at the docks, and of course if they were still racing they would be at the docks
I'll be at the party, they have the stage set up at Nelson's Dockyard as well as the AYC and wow, there are some beauties at the docks (as well as literally tons of "stuff" that has been removed for the races to lighten the boats).
I spoke with a guy who just arrived from Guadeloupe in a 20-something sailboat with no engine and his trip here was quite lengthy indeed.
