"We don't want to shut down non-Cup racing on the Bay," Craig said. "The last thing we want is for the event to come and go and have people say, 'Well, that sucked.'" The practical implications are far from being obvious at this point, but they will be much clearer at the end of April when ACRM runs a test event in Auckland. JOBS!!! Not as in Steve Jobs, but rather as in jobs for sailors. One of the coolest things to come out of the smaller meeting is that the ACRM will be coming to the local clubs ACEA for two things.

"'The impact of those changes have been completely unknown until now, and those who negotiated on behalf of the city have some serious explaining to do. There were substantial increases in obligations and liabilities for the city." Although the changes were apparently greenlighted by the City Attorney's offi ce, the report stated that they signifi cantly increased the City's obligations — pro- hibited under the agreement the Board of Supervisors approved. Honestly, we don't know what bearing this will have on the event, and we hope that for America's Cup 34 it means little or no interruption. But one thing is for sure: given Larry Ellison's success in litigating both in the business world — he pounded rival SAP to the tune of $1.3 billion in damages in a lawsuit last year — and the Cup arena, where he smacked Ernesto Bertarelli's Alinghi team around in the lead-up to AC33, we wouldn't bet against him.

The 6-Metre class made its North American debut on these waters in 1915 during the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, and we are thrilled to celebrate 101 years of “elegance & performance” on the Bay. An extraordinary team has worked hard to make this regatta one for the ages. We acknowledge Commodore Kimball Livingston, Club General Manager JJ West, and Director of Race Lynn Lynch for their standard-setting levels of Let your financial dreamsset sail. hospitality and regatta management. With both Classic and Modern “ruled” 6-Metres participating in as many as nine races in the days to come, consistent performance promises to outweigh luck, a missed tide line or a fortuitous wind shift. At regatta’s end, the winning teams will be presented with prestigious fixtures, and all will carry away the thrill of competition on our beautiful San Francisco Bay. May the best team win, and may the Corinthian spirit continue to flourish.

  • Mystery Skulls Is the Nom De Plume of Los Angeles-Based Electronic-Soul DJ/Producer/Artist Luis Dubuc
    Mystery Skulls is the nom de plume of Los Angeles-based electronic-soul DJ/producer/artist Luis Dubuc. Born in New Orleans and raised in Dallas, the 28-year old fluent, Spanish-speaking Dubuc found his own sound within the confines of beats, synths and grooves stemming from the 90’s New Jack Swing R&B sounds of his childhood and musical heroes such as Prince, Michael Jackson, Daft Punk, Roger & Zapp, the Gap Band, and Slayer. Dubuc first got his start playing drums in a local band with friends called Thirty Called Arson, but he truly found his niche, however, in writing and recording electronica pop/rock songs with a laptop and Wurlitzer. Under the alias The Secret Handshake, Dubuc developed a cult-following with critical acclaim of his music while playing the guitar, synthesizer, piano, percussion and computer-generated sound effects from his computer including his 2009 and third studio album My Name Up in Lights. Recorded in his Dallas apartment, the album landed at #7 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart and #45 on the Independent Albums chart, leading to an opener slot on Alternative Press’ 2009 “The Fall Ball” tour as well as shows in Australia. In 2011, Dubuc ended life as The Secret Handshake posting on Twitter “Done with the past. Proud of what I accomplished but ready to move on.” Dubuc reinvented himself as Mystery Skulls with the release of his self-titled EP that December. The 4-song album offers a refined formula of his indie synth-pop soundscape juxtaposed with his soul- influenced vocal stylings.
