Blue shirt: sails on De Tree

Article Abstract:

A sailor recounts the travails of Anguilla traditional boat racing during the annual August series in 1996. Aboard the racing sloop De Tree, he felt alternately exhilarated, frightened and excited as the boat left the port, was hit by a gust at one point and finally made it fifth among 12 boats.
