Dear
Steve,
We're having a great time on the bay and have enjoyed some fantastic
days with strong winds. Mathias Winterberg, from Switzerland,
reached 12.7 knots this past Friday. He promised that he has no
relationship with the Alinghi racing team and is not here in San Diego to spy
on the BMW Oracle TriMaran.
Check in on-line and make a reservation at www.sailusa11.com. We can
frequently take you on short notice so don't hesitate to contact us by
phone at (619) 255-4705 or toll free at (866) 250-3568.

More Fresh Paint
We are still
reconditioning the boat, behind Mark you can see the newly finished vertical
surface. The entire section surrounding the cockpit has been
brought back to NEW condition. Every crack, old screw hole or
scratch has been properly fixed with new carbon fiber and epoxy,
multiple coats of AWLGRIP primer and 3 finish
coats of AWLGRIP paint. We have
also replaced all the tracks seen on the upper deck behind Mark and
strengthened the deck surface by adding FR4-G10. We had new bases
custom made for our Lewmar winches in England and new spline shafts custom
made right here in San Diego
for all of our belt-drive pedestals. Mark is working on sanding
our new floor chalks, we removed all the existing chalks due to wear
and damage and rebuilt new ones that are much stronger.
With guidance and assistance from Infinity Yacht Services, we
are continuing repairing the entire floor surface and should have it
completely repainted with AWLGRIP products soon.
Then we're on to the upper deck.

Our New Office Space
We have a new office at the Kona Kai Marina that allows us a great
meeting place to gather before and after our sails. The space
doubles as a business office for us to hold marketing and scheduling
meetings as well as a showroom for our SAIL USA-11 sailing gear.
We have some great new windbreakers that had previously only been
available to crew. A photo will be visible on our website in the
next few days.
You can buy any of our items from the office when you visit the boat or
check out our website and purchase on-line and we send it right out to
you.
