I watched the races in Newport via LIVE overhead (Helicopter) camera/video coverage presented by..I have no idea..but it was spectacular and very well done. At NO Time did I see any evidence of "FOILS"....or any mention of same during the competition.

I also got to look close hand at the boats.. OUT of the water. NO Foils in evidence...but maybe the heat was getting to me....(90+) It was Very Hot and I am an old coot and had to WALK a very long way to see the boats first hand.

Perhaps some of you have noticed how Anal I am about details..especially about sailing. I have NO idea how this "Foil Thing" got by me.

At the same time i was trying to link up with Broadhopper who was in the area at the time. NB
