12 and 1/2s at Buzzards Sunday 8/2/09

After the Wiannos I went over to Wing's Neck and took in a couple of Herreshoff H12 races the next day. The class includes the doughdishes but not the Havens. Gotta have a real keel.

They're pretty cute.

The owner of the beautiful new wood 12 1/2 built by Alec Brainerd has been sailing it here and he's getting the hang of it.

They really frolic, visually. They're not streamers, like the Js and 12 meters, or the S boats or NY30s. Much bouncier, more tossing and turning.
