Today determined the 2017 U.S. Match Racing Champion and the winner of the Prince of Whales Bowl. Hosted by Oakcliff Sailing Center in Oyster Bay, NY on Swedish Match 40s.
Great video. One picky point; if the trophy was donated in 1931, the donor could not have been "Edward Albert," who died as Edward VII in 1914. In 1931, the Prince of Wales was the future Edward VIII, who abdicated in 1936 in order to marry Wallis Simpson, a twice-divorced American.
WHOA. Wild.
Nice jobs guys fun to watch
Thanks for watching!
