Well, the skiffs beat the windsurfers and kiters again.
Interesting story about the Ronston Bridge to Bridge race in San Fran

Fascinating! Are sail-powered (as opposed to kite-powered) multihulls allowed?

From what I read is the race is week long skiff race. But on the fifth race windsurfers and kiters join the race to make it interesting. So I think it is only skiffs. Amazing that 65 or so competitors started and only 33 finished.
That kite boat / craft looks like it would be at a weight disadvantage compared to other kiters. If they could figure out how to put a sail on there as well as the kite I think they would be onto something.
