At Boston's Community Boating racers sail 420's just like most area sailing centers, but they also have an enormous fleet of Cape Cod Mercuries, a wide and slow boat "like a bathtub with a sail." Making this thing go fast around a racecourse can be quite a challenge.

I'm impressed you can get a whole fleet of those bathtubs around a racecourse at all in that breeze, let alone with style. Well done Kara and Billy.
