Team ayeBoat - Leukemia Cup 2008 This video shows "Team ayeBoat" racing on Lake Travis during the 2008 Leukemia Cup sponsored by Austin Yacht Club. During one of the races, our friend Kelly crosses on port tack and "threads the needle" between two starboard tack boats! 0:06 - Getting close to shore so we tack onto starboard. 0:22 - The red boat is approaching on port tack. 0:33 - Red boat tacks onto starboard on top of us. 0:34 - Now Kelly is approaching on port tack. 0:37 - This one's going to be closer! 0:40 - Kelly threads the needle between both boats! 0:42 - That was close! |

Team Superman Synchronicity Racing a J/24 requires teamwork and perfectly synchronized moves between skipper and crew... This video shows "Team Superman" (from Austin Yacht Club) practicing their skills aboard a friend's boat (named "Audacity") while their boat "Superman" was under repair. By the way, their boat is named "Superman" because of the Red, Yellow and Blue stripes... the boat's name was going to be either "Superman" or "Plastic Jesus" and... well... it's a long story ;-) But we digress. Watch this video to see "Team Superman's" highly honed skills and perfectly synchronized moves :-)
