Greg Thomas and John Williams, the US PanAm Multihull Team, schooled the NorCal 16 fleet with straight bullets this past weekend! Thomas and Williams are making their rounds and attending as many regattas around the country as they can in preparation for their upcoming trip to compete in the PanAm Games in Mexico.

Give 'em a little love HERE!

I tried all freaking day to get this shot with both of their sponsor's logos visible through the hulls. This is the best I could do.

In second place, just behind Thomas and Williams, regatta organizer Adam Borcherding and his wife Julie finished with 11 points.

Hah! Only the yout (Nate Brown) has the huevos to fly a rudder upwind in that stuff.

GT and JDub better get with that program or they'll never beat the 'ricans.

Nice photos, Jer!

Thanks, Matt.

That would be Nate's brother Ben with the rudder up. Nate's sailing with the young lady. Priorities! :D

They're both getting pretty darn good!

Huge thanks to Adam and Julie for the couch and beer! And Julie make a great cuppa joe...

SCYC was a fun joint - highly recommended and a place I'd like to visit again soon.

Post subject:  Re: Thomas and Dub Lead the Class
We're experimenting with that. Coming from the F18 class, that is how we do it and it helps on that boat, no reason it shouldn't on this boat. We're also only able to do it until it gets windy enough to have to travel the main, then I take the sheet back and he controls the main traveler.
