Great pictures! Thanks for posting! The big shots, showing a bunch of boats, are cool, but the close up ones are the best! Definitely the reason to get out on the water, if one really wants to see the action.

🙂 Looks like a great time, thanks for posting! I know almost nothing about sailing, ok to ask a question?

On pic #94 there is a guy clipped in on the bow with a card N/S in his hand, the caption reads "Bowman checking the distance" what's going on there?

Great to see everyone enjoying themselves ⛵️

@TwentySix - the "N/S" actually the North-Sails logo on the genoa. Racers often have someone on the bow during the starts who hold up their hands and countdown boat lengths to the start line. The skipper has a clock and hears the countdown and can adjust the speed and angle so that the boat's bow doesn't cross the start line before the official signal that the race has started. It is hard to judge the distance from the aft section of a larger sailboat, so the bowman's role is crucial.
