SDYC Hot Rum Series

Hey Cal'sters Yeah!!! I am returning as foredeck captain in this year's Hot Rum Regatta series on Cap't Bill's T/2 (Reggie take note). Last year 150 boats competed and we finished 3rd in our class. Mike, it would be nice to see a CAL 40 in there. Any CAL Boats group members in SoCal interested should visit the Regatta site http://www.sdyc.org/raceinfo/races06/hotrum/index.htm Robert Thomas CAL T/2 Elysium Crewmate 2005 San Diego PHRF Class 6 Champions

Mike, it would be > nice to see a CAL 40 in there. I had a funny experience in what I think was the Rumsey Series back in the late 70s. We were entered in the Lipton Cup, then held by SDYC. This involved a new crew and we decided to do the local race the weekend before the LIpton Cup. This was a race around a rock off Rosarita Beach, an overnighter. I had my Yankee 38, which I had bought from Gordy Frost who had a hot new Peterson 1-Ton. Well, Gordy and his crew, which included Lowell North, were the defenders of the cup. We wound up third boat to finish, right behind the new 1-tonner (and Carl Eichenlaub's 2-tonner) and scared the club so badly they bumped Gordy from his own boat for the cup race. We won Class B. I asked the race chairman about the trophy and was told that we were not entitled to it because we were not entered in the series. There had been no mention of this when they took my entry money. I guess they were really PO'd. Anyway, I've had a couple of run-ins with SDYC guys racing. They are really upset when they lose. We're not ready but I hope to make Ensenada this year.

Great story, Mike Sunday we were getting ready for our pursuit start when I spied CAL 40 Persephone out there. I think Dennis Connor owns her or did. The race results showed the CAL 40 was registered as "Nozomi". We took 3rd in non-spin class 6.
