Anne Dunbar, associate publisher of WoodenBoat, driving Chesapeake Light Craft‘s new Cocktail Class kit.

Earlier, out on the race course:

and a subsequent race:

And here’s a video from 2010:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTPv5r2uNRk&feature=player_detailpage

In all, we had nine races this year, with Anne getting six bullets in six races.  Is it her, or the new boat?  I’m guessing we had about 10 racers.

This is the fourth year that Gretchen and Kim Granbery have been running the Cocktail Class races at the WoodenBoat Show.  Interesting — I think — that the last three years have crowned different women as the champions.

Doesn’t this make you want to start a fleet?

    These cocktail class racers bring back fond childhood memories of a little boat we called Kinetic Energy. It was fun because it was tiny, but these are even smaller. Looks like even more fun! Thanks for sharing!
