Easy call…New Wave

Thanks Judah! However I feel you may be biased as a member of the Gold Cup winning crew in Fort Lauderdale? Sorry you aren’t here with us this week. I spoke to Marty and the guys last night and they are on great form.

Hi Judah! We sure do miss you not being here… The New Wave crew just isn’t the same without you!
Check out Jean Francois Cruette!!! 2006 Melges 24 Corinthian World Champion… If Marty did it.. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jean Francois excel as well.
This fleet is a tough call… Both Marty and Jeff are pretty strong teams — Jeff having won this event twice.
We’ll see…

If I had any money, I would put it on the gang on New Wave! When they hit stride, which they proved in Ft. Lauderdale, they are hard to stop.

Hey. I have to support the boys. It kills me to miss the event. Best of luck to all. Enjoy the week on the water while we toil away in the office…JR
