Mobility Cup 2010 - Vancouver, BC
Once again the Mobility Cup returned to the sheltered waters of English Bay - it was last here in 2006. This time around 36 sailors competed,19 in Gold Fleet and 17 in Silver. Together they represented four countries: Canada, USA, England and New Zealand.
Infuriatingly, flat weather struck the same fleet two days running - Silver sailed each time, but the Gold Fleet was becalmed. However, organizers managed to fit the Gold Fleet races into the last day.
There was a memorable meeting with a face from the past - the original Sunbird, which was used to start the whole Canadian sailing program, and with it the Mobility Cup, had been restored and put on display at the event. The boat, Iron Lady, was on her way to the BC Sports Hall of Fame.
