My sincere condolences go out to Families and fellow sailors of the crew member that was struck by the boom and died in The Kingfisher Night race series.

No no no. The crews that do the Kingfisher series are good sailors, it's not a casual race. It was pretty windy last night, but nothing we haven't seen in several Kingfishers. That's just horrible news, adding my thoughts and prayers for the crews and the familes involved. A sad day.

it was a fresh night and a lot of fun but nothing over 35 and most between 25 to 30 our thoughts are with the crew and family
