The Anacortes Yacht Club Tulip
Regatta, The Santa Cruz 27 Western Regionals, and the “Auld Mug” The Americas Cup Trophy all arrived Saturday, April 10th in Anacortes. Wind and sunshine greeted the 34 skippers gathered for a quick briefing at AYC which now is sporting a rudder from BWM Oracle donated by CORE builders. Racing kicked off on schedule
with 34 boats split into four divisions, with the nine SC 27's enjoying their own start. Northerly winds to 15 knots had some skippers reaching for their #3 jibs as crews grew weary later in the day after finishing three windward. leeward courses. Boats were then off the water and welcomed to the club for a delecious salmon dinner donated by Trident Seafood. During dinner and Saturday results
the first ever "Boat Trailer Olympics" held in A-town were contested by crews to the delight of a capacity crowd. Next it was off to the Port of
Anacortes warehouse to see the Cup. Sailors and non-sailors alike jostled for position for photo ops and to see the new carbon base donated by CORE builders. Afterwards everyone trekked back to the club to dance the night away to the AYC house band Gertrudes Hearse. Sunday‘s wind was lighter, but
competition was fiercer, in three more races with boats being called over early and vocal colorful anecdotes exchanged between skippers in tight situations. Mora a J/29 and Stranger a J/27 battled to the final race before Mora eeked out a single point victory, Vitesse a 36.7 was two points back in third to round out the A fleet.
