This is a collection of photos showing details of boats most of us don't get a chance to get close to.  There are currently three of them at Corinthian Yacht Club in Belvedere, California.  If you are interested, and can get to CYC, don't miss this opportunity!  If you speak French, so much the better, because of the three boats in this inaugural race, the only non-French speaking crew was an Aussie (yet another foreign language!).
