The resurgence in match racing these classic yachts is well underway on the West Coast. Designed under the Universal Rule that spawned the huge J Class yachts, there have been four amazing restorations between Ace and Pirate in Seattle, Lady Van in Vancouver and Aloha in Sidney.

For the second consecutive year, Lady Van, skippered by Don Martin, won the Alexandra Cup, this time by just three feet in an exciting photo finish on October 30, 2011. In a series that saw Ace’s skipper Bob Cadranell win two of the first three races in windier conditions that suited her, Lady Van took the next three. After five races, the wind shut down and the nine-race series ended.
