A record-breaking 33 Melges 32s representing eight countries race out of Newport, R.I., for the world championship through Sept. 29. Big breeze is forecasted, and a collision has already forced the retirement of one team. Photos: ©2012 JOY | International Melges 32 Class Association
A second consecutive day of favorable winds opened the door for a highly-competitive final day of action at the Sperry Top-Sider NOOD Regatta San Francisco.

In this article from September 1993, John Burnham writes about the “new” IBM/ Sailing World National Offshore One-Design regattas focusing attention on sailors and sailing venues on the West Coast and in the Midwest.
In this article from 1991, Stuart Walker explains why heads-up tactics and some quick forethought are often better than a red flag when it comes to dealing with Rule 54.3.
The last day of the regatta was worth waiting for as the wind finally came.
