Swami Cailouet Predicts
My Predictions for the Next America’s Cup
Larry Caillouet
Starting with the easy ones:
- 1. The AC will be sailed on the Hauraki Gulf in New Zealand.2. Peter Burling will be at the helm of the defender. Dean Barker will not be aboard.
3. The AC will have a strong nationality rule requiring at least a majority of crew members to be from the country of the boat they compete on.
4. Nationality will be determined not only by passport, but since many sailors have dual citizenship with multiple passports, any sailor who has competed in an Olympics will be considered a national of only the country he or she represented.
5. The course will be considerably longer than the San Francisco and Bermuda courses, but considerably shorter than the Newport and San Diego courses. A race will take about one hour.
6. It will be sailed in boats that require sail changes.
7. It will be sailed in monohulls, probably not 12-meters or even the newer Super 12’s, but something with a classic look and modern high-tech components built to a box rule.
8. The challengers will include USA–not necessarily Oracle BMW, UK–Land Rover BAR, Italy–Prada Luna Rossa, Sweden–Artemis, and Australia-Quantas Fosters.
9. New Zealand will be challenged for the Cup by Australia.
10. The winner will be . . . New Zealand!

Yankee Doodle Recap by Frank Kersting
A patriotic song, sung with feeling by the POYC sailors and guests, began the evening’s activities. The pavilion was full with club members and guests. The ‘Yankee Doodle’ is Herb Siewert’s favorite regatta where he insisted on pork barbecue, sometimes smoked on the property. For the 2017 regatta, his daughter and family joined the festivities. Welcome and trust we will see you more often!
The dinner was excellent, as all the side dishes were scraped clean. Taking time for the featured Carolina chicken sandwiches to settle, the anticipated dessert: homemade ice cream, was served. The sweet treat by Debbie and Steve was so delicious, the containers were also scraped clean. No need to wash them!!
After the tables were cleared, Debbie showed the feature movie, ‘Wind,’ one of the top 10 best sailing movies. With surround sound that Steve connected, watching a sailing movie with fellow sailors and boats in the yard added. Special flare.
The Yankee Doodle was shortened due to threatening weather but two races in light wind were completed.
The results were:
Dinghy- 1st Barry Sanders
2nd. Joe Brownfield
Cruiser- 1st Frank Kersting
2nd Greg Glass
3rd. Chris & Andrew Eaton. This was their first placement in racing- welcome to the racing fleet!
What a wonderful way to celebrate July 4, remembering the precious gifts we have in this great nation.
Yankee Doodle is Sunday July 2nd!
