My brother was the main trimmer on that boat in that regatta. He sent me this video and I have never grown tired of watching this clip. You really get the idea of how fast they are going when they pass the Melges 24 with all crew hiking out! It's like the Melges is standing still!!!

Yeah there are two of them, S1 is the soft sail and H3 is the hard sail.

your wrong marcelluske it not in cali, its in Sarasota Florida. The guy keeps it on a boat lift on the bradenton river. I sailed out of Sarasota, and it would come buy every once and a while. As for the rig, this one is the soft sail, I was never sure if there was 2 of them or not.

There were two. I could be wrong but I believe the one with the wing sail is somewhere in the caribe.

Nah, there's only one S & S - there's the wing and soft sail for same. Still races offshore around S.Cal.

I memory serves, there were two Stars and Stripes cats built. One had conventional sails and the other had the fixed wing sail.

Is this really the original Stars and Stripes catamaran? Where's the fixed wing main sail?
