Daily Digest: VOR, S2H, AC, WS

SAN DIEGO – Several of our Dear Readers have asked for more of these "Daily Digest" posts, with links to current yacht racing articles that may be of interest to our loyal and growing group of Dear Readers. Please don't call us the Drudge Report of sailing, but here goes (and, as always, your comments and suggestions as to format and content are welcome)....
Christopher Clarey in yesterday's New York Times: "Australia's Nautical Rite of Passage."
Christopher Clarey in today's NYT: "Guillaume Verdier Helps Design the Future of Yacht Racing" – meaning the AC75 for the 2021 America's Cup. [Note that the NYT, like SAILING ILLUSTRATED, prefers the term "yacht racing." Do you? –TFE]
