I-LYA Bayweek boats filled the Put-in-Bay docks on Thursday, 1 August 2013.
This Farr 400 design, owned by Rob Ruhlman of Cleveland, Ohio, is named “Spaceman Spiff.”
Racing sailboats is a mentally and physically challenging sport with unique rewards on and off the water. The thrill of the start, the keen attentiveness to wind shifts, and the sometimes hair-raising sail-changes create an aura of adventure and tense competitiveness. However, during an America’s Cup year the kinship with sailors performing on an ultra-professional level knows no bounds. Find a racing sailor and let them explain. Indubitably, you will recognize the look of a true labor of love.
