Features

A King and Its Court
The King 40 was one of a handful of Mark MIlls designs that ran roughshod over a 13-boat IRC-2 fleet at 2009 Acura Key West Race Week.  Plus boat of the day and boat of the week interviews, and KWRW's comeback of the year.
By Herb McCormick and Stuart Streuli

Experience Counts
More than 75 years after it debuted in Long Island Sound, the Atlantic Class can still draw a crowd; 34 teams competed in its 2008 National Championships on Blue Hill Bay, Maine.
