We have a Cup

I found this site after I Google-d my name again.  It's amazing what you can find out there.



 The event is a private three day race of the Super Yacht held in Palma De Mallorca.  Up to 20 boats and 600 crew from all over the world. 


Now judging from the name and the fact that it is a private event, rowboats, skiffs, and dinghy's are probably out of contention.   The event logo is a simple yet elegant design that underscores the prestige and power that is most likely a necessity  to participate.




Even Quint and his boat were denied entry.

 I have seen yachts in person before but what is a Super Yacht?  Taking a look at some of the entries in this years regatta I found my answers.

                     Not impressed? How about..

                        or...

 As serious as these vessels look the event his held in the spirit of friendly competition with a celebration at the end of the race in which participants congratulate one another.


Not so different from this

                           ( I know what your thinking, everything goes back to hockey)

The site had a lot of great photos of the event.  I found that I liked this photo the most because it reminds me of a few romantic paintings by Edward Hopper.
