Latitudes in the Wild

"I don’t know if you still run these kinds of photos anymore," writes Golden Gate YC member Emmanuel Uren, "but here’s a picture of an authentic Plymothian before some America’s Cup 34 World Series races in Plymouth in early September. The lighthouse in the background on Plymouth Hoe — where many thousands of viewers watched the races — is called Smeaton’s Tower, and was the third Eddystone Light.  During the actual racing, the Hoe and other parts of the "natural amphitheater" were filled with spectators."

We think it’s fantastic that so many Bay sailors are not only supporting the America’s Cup so fervently but have the opportunity to travel to show that support. If you have photos from the World Series events in Cascais in August or Plymouth in September — whether you’re holding a Latitude or not — we’d love to see them.

As for the first part of Emmanuel’s note, we love seeing Latitudes in the wild!
