The crusiers here in Mazatlan have so much boat maintenance going on that they just had to come up with a deversion worthy of stopping the boat projects. So a group of them came up with the 1st annual samll boat regatta. There were lots of rules of coarse but the "Basic" rule for you America's cup followers was no boat could be longer then 18" and not wider then 9". NO Multihulls and NO foam of any kind. It was a plastic hull boat that took the day. Of course to make it more interesting there was heavy side betting and cash awards for various aspects of the boat deisgn competition.
