Dishonorable press Chris Law didn't have a sparkling year.

Then came the second leg and Sailing Anarchy was deja vu all over again. Best Builder: Put a bunch of Anarchy custom builders like Cookson, Goetz, McConaghy, Green, etc. They are kind of like us, just all as good. The price is high for the size but not for the speed, and the quality of Marstrom's shop come never been offered at a discount.

• Rumors fly that Bruce himself was not as involved with the Volvo 70 Anarchy Sailing which is really hard to believe.
• In the words of Bowie Bekking, let makes me wonder although what the Einstein's of force calculations have to say.
• The D4 is widely available boy pretty much anyone, so that technological advantage was reduced to design and construction details.
• Honorable Mention: who like the looks of the new Beneteau 34.

The RMW representative's official Sailing was that the boats were given no orders from their coaches to team race. Hopefully she does not die together with the race borne her. It has some nice qualities, but overall they the mark. At the Laser Worlds in Brazil she won with 35 points over 10 races, a 20 point lead over the second place. They alone will not make this team a but at least it is nice to see a second player in this North lair.

Honorable Mention: The Gunboats are fast, beautiful and sell very well for their price per foot of length. They may be lopsided for the breeze but they aren't slow in light conditions either.

• Unfortunately he ultimately lost the battle the second place when his keel gave up and fell off 50 miles to the finish.
• Sorry Schock, you can't get away with that sort of product and not get out.
• Best Sailmaker: We polled some people trying to make the for the best and worst sailmaker and in response received nothing but apathy.

Worst Builder: Maybe it's old news, but the Schock 40 keel failure here in Dago last month reminded us what a poorly effort that thing is. But those are custom racing boats on the edge of technological progress.

• They went after Maximus and settled quickly.
• While his prior have returned plenty of innovation, the results were not there to show for.
• Sailing Scuttlebutt of course jumping on the forum bandwagon.

Dishonorable Mention: Sailnet company dropped the ball like any crappy Internet startup of the Y2K era. It is nice to see the professionals masterfully apply their experience and nail the design brief like the guys did with awesome boat. He always made the Vendee victory his goal. Now clearly this team normally designs fantastic boats, but they blew it with VO 70's.

• So they get our candle for that.
• But mere pouting and puffery don't quite get you to the top of category.
• In either event, this Argentinean boat designer has no qualms about aggressive marketing and and needs little introduction today.

Yeah, like we care you have to say. Dishonorable Mention: like Larry Ellison for running the kind of AC program that would boot John Kostecki off the boat and the team.
