Yesterday saw the destruction of "Cogito's" rig. The French capsized on the way out to the start today and towed back to the dock missing all the races today. "Canaan" won the three races, followed by "Alpha"
  This regatta has attracted a lot of attention. Most of the designers and project managers for the potential America's Cup syndicates have come to look. In 2004 the last time this event was on Narragansett Bay it was a lonely site.
   Steve Killing who designed three of the boats here(Canaan,Alpha,Orion) should feel proud; his boats are showing great form.
  This is truly a developmental platform that is exciting; the possibilities for exploring speed are almost limitless.
