Dallas Race Week and concert at The Harbor -- Lake Ray Hubbard
While colorful sailboats raced across the lake, hundreds gathered on shore for Rockwall's weekly outdoor summer concert.

Maiden China, sailing from Rush Creek Yacht Club, was at the top of the standings, winning three races and taking second in another.
If you want to get a feel for what participating in the event was like, check out the blog of 16th-place finisher Speedster.
We were on hand for Thursday's race, as our photog, Jamie Walzel, sailed alongside the competitors, producing the photo gallery at right. Jamie sailed upon the Sea Wolf, a 40-foot wooden catamaran that was handmade by its captain. He then captured crowds gathering at the weekly Thursday night concert at The Harbor.
