Calcup 6-Sept.6, 2003 - Rio Vista

Report from US86: What a great race! The wind was cooperative and to sail fresh water just added to the spectacular afternoon of sailing; what a way to end the CalCup season. I did a very smart thing & I sold my 9.8 (& a complete rig) the day before the event, the very sail combo that I would need for the race (so I really had my work cut out for me all day on my 9.0-at 195 lbs., it wasn't always fun)....will never do that again. I figured, Rio Vista, fog in the Bay, it's going to crank hard! It did blow, but if you want to be competitive with this fleet, you've got to have it dialed. I think the highlight of the day was starting dead last at the long-distance (Chenda accidentally took a spill at the start in front of me) and doing those many tacks around the island, this definitely got my blood pumping. It was the first time I ever did this "round-the-island thing" which was always a challenge & never seemed to end. I figured, one or two tacks & I'm off to the finish, I stopped counting at 10 just to give you an idea on how challenging this thing was. You would look down the backside of the island & it seemed like a tunnel; with a lot of challenging wind shifts & lulls. After half way through the length I said to myself, sheesh, I'm in so deep that if the wind died I'd have to get the thumb out & hitchhiked back....no way, pressed on. I will definitely be back next year to do this & the many other races that this series has to offer. I think that if you are remotely considering Formula racing, attending one or several of the events is a "must do"; the courses are long (& challenging) and the committee rifles through each race. Thanks to all of you at CalCup & all the volunteers that helped make the racing a "Top Shelf" experience this season. See you all on the water! Royce
