Rally hat on for Volpe…

Another day of big waves, sunshine and 22knots of breeze. Whoa what a ride out to the course… More 6-8 footers easy!

Stay close as the first start should be on time…

Today is the final day of racing at the 2011 Melges 32 Gold Cup and Steve Howe has got an amazing eleven point lead. More breeze, more wind and great racing action are on tap. The sunshine has debuted early as the docks are beginning to stir. Two races are planned. Stay here for all the latest racing updates. Sailing Updates is also here so be sure to check that out too!

Plenty of photo galleries are posted online, so while you wait for the final race day to begin… enjoy!
