Farr 40 Viva la Vida and WC 70 Pyewacket celebrate their Cal Cup class wins with Commodore Uta Leslie. - Sam Haythorn photo scheduled for Sunday, the winner of the Cal Cup was up for grabs. Going into the final race, Pyewacket had pulled to within one point of Taxi Dancer after winning the first race of the day, while four boats were in serious contention for the top slot in the Farr 40 class. The Farr 40 finish in Sunday’s first race was especially tight, with five boats finishing within 20 seconds, two of them in a dead heat. Stenciled sail numbers on white spinnakers are quite the challenge for a PRO. And down to the wire it was! Three seconds was the difference between Pyewacket’s and Taxi Dancer’s corrected times in their final race, with the Disney boat taking the edge. So it is Pyewacket that will be added to the list of California Cup champions that includes a different Pyewacket sailed by another Roy Disney in 1994. In the final Farr 40 race, there was almost as much excitement on Steve Murphy’s JoAnn from SIBYC for getting the gun and finishing second overall in the regatta, as there was on Viva La Vida, whose second place finish insured that the Jeff Shew/Bill Durant entry from LBYC would also have its name added to the Cal Cup. With a sumptuous Mexican buffet to replenish their energy and free beer to quench their thirst, the racers barely noticed the brief time ashore before the trophy ceremony began on the front lawn. Commodore Uta Leslie presented beautiful crystal vases to the top three finishers in each class. And as the trophy ceremony drew to an end, a surprised Commodore was hoisted onto the shoulders of two sailors for the group photo of the winning crews. Quite a view from that height, I’m sure! Many thanks to the myriad of people who helped make this event a success: the boat owners who vacated their slips on Cal Cup row, the Race Committee volunteers (including a mark set boat muscled by our Junior sailors!) who made the Regatta Chairman's job easy, the press corps that posted photos and updates to our website and Facebook page, the jury who sorted through a critical protest, CYC members 12/BREEZE JULY 2013 Bronny Daniels joysailing.com photo whose vessels served as race committee boats or as part of the spectator fleet, and the management and staff who professionally handled the onshore activities. The words of praise and appreciation from the competitors make the effort all worthwhile. Junior sailors race to reset the weather mark. - Mike Shocklee photo force10images.com
