[C38] Fwd: 1987 America's Cup Retrospective this Weekend on ESPN Classic

[Max Soto]

Hey guys, how about these 35knt, double handed 60' racing sloops, with
canting keels, twin rudders and  daggerboards, are they good enough for
you???LOL

I just figured out how to upload them using picassa. Those pics are about
two months old, from the 2011 Transat, that ended here in CR, on the
Caribbean side. Very impressive boats. I also made some connections that
put me on board Virbac-Paprec, the winner...
The interior is the only place were they didn't let me take pictures,
otherwise, they would had to kill me.... Lots of top secret stuff....
Joe, sorry it took so long for me to get you the pics.

Regards,
Max
