Tonight we had the Opening Ceremony, pretty cool and fun, celebrating everyone who traveled all the way here to compete.
Quite a group gathered in the “America’s Cup room” of the St Francis YC.
Sailors from eight countries are present, can you name the flags? *
St F YC Commodore Beau Vrolyk welcomes everyone. “We love 505s and you are always welcome here”. Nice.
Mike Martin and Adam Lowry win the Howard Hamlin trophy for the pre-Worlds.
Presentation of the flag from the German contingent.
A cool wall featuring models of America’s Cup competitors from over the years. The St F YC have an impressive collection of ship models all over the clubhouse.
And so ends another day … onward!
* Flag legend: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, UK, Ireland, Poland, USA
