AC Skeptics: You gotta admit this is getting good. Oracle wins Race 16

OK they're all even now 8-8 (if you subtract the astonishingly harsh two race penalty by the international jury for a violation by Oracle in the AC 45's)  If the Kiwis win tomorrow it will still be a win on the water - because they'll have 9/17.  But if the Americans win one more it will be 9/8 on the water but 8/7 on the books.  Something ought to give. - GWC

What a Messy Desk Says About You - Well - NY Times
Cleaning up your desk can be a good idea.   But “Disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition,” Dr. Vohs and her co-authors conclude in the study, “which can produce fresh insights.”The implications of these findings are also practical. “My advice would be, if you need to think outside the box” for a future project, Dr. Vohs says, then let the clutter rise and unfetter your imagination. But if your primary goal is to eat well or to go to the gym, pick up around your office first. By doing this, the naturally messy can acquire some of the discipline of the conscientious.

If you love sailing you have to want the Americas Cup to keep on going



Bacchant comes to the Long Island Sound

On the way home from the Indian Harbor YC Classics regatta I got a bonus.  Eastbound  (from its former home in Wisconisn?) was Bacchant - a mahogany planked Swedish 75 sq. meter sailboat built in 1936.  I wonder what is its new homeport?  Does anyone recognize its club burgee? Hope to see it at the IHYC next year. (click on pix to enlarge)
