Scene Last Night: Hedge-Funders Sail From Greenwich, Soccer Rooftop Revels

Yesterday afternoon a few dozen hedge-funders abandoned their desks to sail 12-Metre America’s Cup yachts on the Long Island Sound.

The majestic boats made their way out of Indian Harbor Yacht Club in Greenwich, Connecticut, past the waterfront homes of Edward Lampert and Paul Tudor Jones and a replica of the Brooklyn Bridge (which doubles as a dock) at an estate that recently sold for $39.5 million.

The weather cooperated beautifully, with bright sun and blue skies. A storm threatened but of course went somewhere else. A light rain finally came when the post-sail cocktail party was winding down.

The Connecticut Hedge Fund Association organized the event, which benefited the Young Mariners Foundation, a sailing program for underprivileged children in Stamford, Connecticut. Volunteers from the program provided spectator boats. Kent Holden, founder of Holden Capital Management LLC, found a place for a couple of reporters on his sailboat.

2. Teabaggers have no clue as to the contempt the Billionaire Class holds them in.

They actually think that one day they'll have a 'cottage' in the Hamptons and get to hobnob with people that have never cooked a meal for themselves in their entire lives, let alone went shopping in a grocery store.
