18 Foot Ditch Run

Pat Whitmarsh, Ben Glass, Paul Allen and Justin Scott sail the 2006 Delta Ditch Run in the Skiff Foudation's Blue Aussie 18 (ex Sunrise 7). They started an hour behind the keelboats and managed to pass almost all of them before the finish. Thanks To Avery Patton for shooting video.
