I would highly reccomend this tour! We went 2 yrs. ago, and had a blast! If you like sailing, this is a once in a lifetime experience. It's like letting a regular Joe drive an Indy 500 car.It may have been the best organized shore tour we have ever been on.Blusky588 described the "crew" involvement very well... I was a "backstay grinder" (fairly phsysical) and Jan was "Timekeeper" (a low impact assignment, I think she also helped handing out beer at the end). The waves were 4-8", and the wind was 20-30K--so these boats were flying.The skippers also do a fair amount of side-by-side close quarters tacking that makes it very exciting. We finished second, about 8 seconds behind.We can't wait to do it again. It sure beats shopping!ENJOY!
