The Commodore's Cup Regatta is a three race regatta sponsored by West Sound Corinthian Yacht Club(WSCYC). Not many people know of the history of this regatta as many of the current racers were not racing for WSCYC when this regatta was started. This regatta is limited only to members of WSCYC. It is like a season championship for our club. I am not sure of the year(I did race in the first one), but I think it was 1989 when our Commodore(I will not mention his name) who was a great racer, bought the cup for the club and set up the first regatta. The cup resembles a large brass ice bucket mounted on a square wood pedestal. The winner gets his name engraved on the cup and gets to keep it until the next year. This regatta has attracted some interesting entries. Because it was open to club members only, sometimes you could see fast boats(and crews) from other clubs show up at the starting line after being "chartered" by club members. This could be my last Commodore's Cup Regatta if I do not rejoin WSCYC at the end of the year.
The three races of the regatta were sailed in good winds that strengthened as the Day went by. A combination of courses from short to long were all finished well within the time limits. Most of the day was sunny and it only rained after we finished the last race and tied up at the breakwater. I do not have any GoPro video or track charts to display.
Thanks to my crew of Jim, Walter, Rainer and Tim for helping out.
Results will be found here when they are finalized:

What's with the DNF in Race 1? Did we miss the left in Albuquerque?
Sure you are looking at the right year? Last year we had a DNF in the first race. I looked at this years results and they looked good.
You're right. When I clicked on your link, the results weren't posted, so I went to the website and looked at the latest results without checking the year.
Any word on from Quantum on your sail?
I called them and told them after the first of Nov. From my description, they feel confident that it is fixable.
