Amazing day today. Alice, buddy and club-mate, Tom and I headed to Newport for the second start of Transatlantic Race 2011. Today was IRC 2 and 3, the Class 40s and the Open Class. The Open Class was two boats: Phaedo, a stunning orange Gunboat and Maltese Falcon.
You can read a better report than I can write here by the awesome Louay Habib. Below are a few photos of the start. Photos of Falcon tacking in the next post.
