Lake Ray Hubbard — Last week, nearly 50 sailboats battled their way through the 27th-annual Dallas Race Week on Lake Ray Hubbard. Racing had to be canceled on Wednesday for a lack of wind, so five races were scored instead of the usual six.

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.
