Back in the early ‘80s I sailed a “Duck Dodge” race on Cinco de Mayo with a 3 piece Mariachi band in full costume leaning against the push pit rail. They played throughout the light air race adding significantly to the party atmosphere but I don’t think any starboard tackers were intimidated.
The boat, a Yamaha 36 named “Made in Japan” was owned by my best friend of Mexican heritage. His family owned three restaurants that served great tex-mex style food. He snuck the band out of the restaurant for the race as a joke. The “Duck Dodge” is held on Lake Union the small lake near downtown Seattle. It is more of a floating theme party than a race.
