“To discuss the world’s greatest yacht race without tipping a cap to the yacht clubs would be like drinking a gin and tonic without a twist of lime. (Or, for a better analogy, like having a ‘Dark and Stormy’ without the ginger beer—you sailors out there know what I mean!)” — Ted William Regan, one of a number of smarmy scribes in the inimitable Nob Hill Gazette, writing this month about the history of the America’s Cup as it pertains to S.F.’s yacht clubs. And we’re pretty sure he meant ‘squeeze of lime.’ [Nob Hill Gazette via SFist]
