Nice Shout-out on Sailing Scuttlebutt

* From Andrew Vare: After reading the regatta announcement for the 2007 505
N.A.'s (in Issue 2451), I have come to realize two things. First, these guys
have the right set of priorities. Second, any class that secures a lingerie
shop as a regatta sponsor trumps the America's Cup, any day. Do we have
anything better to think about (or look at...) than Larry whatshisname in
court for the umpteenth millionth time? Please end any and all AC coverage
immediately and go live-feed with the 5-oh NA's. It's the right thing to do.
