The Buchan legacy extends. Carl won the International Masters regatta, put on by the San Diego Yacht Club this past weekend. The picture of the happy crew includes some very familiar faces, including Carol Buchan. Carl was just inducted into the Sailing Hall of Fame, joining his father Bill. That those two exemplify sailing at its best is no news to us, but it’s sure nice the folks on other other coast recognize it!
This post tells the story of the regatta. Carl won it with a race to spare, then handed his boat over to a competitor with equipment issues on another boat and sat out the last race. Yes, sailing at its best.
