looks like fun, but chilly..
It was VERY cold, but everyone was well bundled up and having a blast when I took the photo and video! This has got to be the most frustrating sport ever - they need very, very specific conditions to sail these lovely old craft, and they don't get them in the Hudson Valley every year. I'm glad I got to go in 2010!
