Forecast Bodes Well For Hot Racing
Dozens of different boat designs will race in thirteen divisions on four courses, but one thing all racing boats have in common is the need for wind, and tomorrow’s forecast promises plenty of it. Up to 20 knots and 6-8 foot waves will propel these racing machines down their courses, guaranteeing smiling faces and an adrenaline-filled day for all. “There’s nothing like big waves and big breeze to show off what these boats can do,” said official videographer Peter Crawford. “The racers will have a great day, and that means we will too.”

“People think of sailboat racing as a slow, boring sport – but they couldn’t be more wrong,” said official videographer Peter Crawford. “Anyone who comes out and watches 35 identical boats screaming in to a racing mark in strong winds will be shocked at just how fast, exciting and adrenaline-filled it can be.” Crawford’s Penalty Box Productions will show just how exciting that is, creating daily highlight videos that will be available each evening at www.charlestonraceweek.com
