United States A-Cat Association (USACA)

Some of the best photos and video you can see of sailing is taken from a Helicopter. The Long Beach A-Class fleet was lucky enough to have that opportunity on September 9, 2007 when Howard Hamlin took out his helicopter and Jay Glaser from Glaser Sails took photos, Howard took video and Keith and Howard took turns flying. The catalyst for the photo shoot was to get some sail development photos, but Jay also took some "tour shots" since you don't get aerial photos of your boat every day (and he was using my Canon Rebel XT SLR camera :-)

Nacra A2 & A3 co-designers Pete Melvin of Morrelli & Melvin and Jeremy Laundergan of Askeland Engineering are both sailing Nacra A2s. Pease Glaser of Glaser Sails is sailing a new Nacra A3. All three are using Glaser Sails.
