What is it like to race in Monaco? Everything you could imagine. 35 members of the Manhattan Sailing Club just completed a whirlwind trip to race in the 2007 Primo Cup at Yacht Club de Monaco. The club fielded 2 Mumm 30 teams and 1 Smeralda team. Yes, it was glamorous, luxurious and super fun. And yes, you can read all about this incredible experience from racing in front of the Monaco skyline to drinking champagne and dancing all night at Jimmy'z. www.myc.org/Racing/primo%20cup/report_2007.htm
