Participating in the world's most glamorous sailing race has been likened to standing in a cold shower while tearing up 50 notes.

By 7:30 a.m. the next morning he was talking casually to the winner of the previous day's sailing race, with no indication that anything was amiss.

As with any sailing race, the voyage must be completed under sail, and the boat must be operated and powered by wind and muscle-power alone (no electric or hydraulic winches).

For relaxation there were sailing races around the island, as competitive as you might expect given the people taking part.

The heyday of sailing on the lake was the late 1960s through the mid-1980s, when the lake held annual sailing races.
