The Championship of Champions Regatta Visited

I happened to be in the Dallas, Texas area on the very weekend that the US Sailing Championship of Champions Regatta was taking place on White Rock Lake and the Corinthian Sail Club.

So I stopped in for a visit.  It happened to be lunchtime on Saturday, October 22nd, 2011.  All the boats were at the dock.

The Flying Scots used for the event were in fabulous condition.  Brand new sails.

The clubhouse:
Rolex!

The odd thing about the Corinthian Sail Club is that all the facilities are built on docks and sit above the water.  There are no shore facilities as far as I could tell.  It's quite an amazing place.
