LEUKEMIA CUP
As the first weekend of October rolled around the corner, the Cal Maritime Sailing Team hit the bay running once again on their One Design 48 sailboat, competing this time in the 2008 San Francisco Yacht Club Leukemia Cup, a benefit to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. 104 boats from around the bay came out on Sunday October 5th to support this event, and Mother Nature cooperated. It was a beautiful day, the winds were ranging from 10-15, and Cal Maritime had the fastest boat in their class of 11 of the fastest boats in the regatta. The course took them on a tour of the bay, from Angel Island to Harding Rock, near San Quentin, and back to Belvedere in just under and hour and 45 minutes. After a long race of ups and downs, they finished just under eight minutes before a 32 foot high-performance sport-boat, and just under 9 minutes before a 60 foot cruiser/racer as the nearest competition. After the handicaps of the boats adjusted the finish times, Cal Maritime picked up the third place position by a close margin to the sport boat, Taboo, and a 40 foot racer/cruiser Desdemona. Congratulations to the team.
