GC Melges 32 Gold Cup Regatta Lauderdale Yacht Club | Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. The 2008 Melges 32 Gold Cup Regatta, hosted by the Lauderdale Yacht Club, could have been best described as the world series of sailing. A quick look at the scratch sheet was as entertaining as the eight intense races held during the three-day event. 26 Victory was sweet for class veterans Marty Kullman and Mike Carroll on New Wave. They were present when the class was born and have fostered the Corinthian spirit many times over. At the Gold Cup, tactician Scott Nixon was the only professional on board accompanied by Ron Hyatt on the bow, Alex Shaffer, Jay Kuebel, Steve Liebel and Judah Rubin. “I love one design sailing. The power and speed of the Melges 32 is awesome making it a lot of fun to sail. And, the fact that you can trailer the boat makes getting around to more regattas possible — and we get to sail against some of the best sailors in the world.” said Kullman after racing. In second overall was Jim Swartz on Q with Gavin Brady calling tactics. John Kilory was third on his famous Samba Pa Ti with Terry Hutchinson serving as tactician.
