RCU Gold Cup

[Roger J. Newton]

RC Unlimiteds , the oldest and largest scale club in the world, just completed their 33rd season with the running of the Gold Cup this past weekend in Chelan, Washington. Over 40 boats attended. The top twenty qualifiers raced for the Cup while the other boats competed for the Norm Evans Memorial. Bill Brandt won the race with his 1972 Notre Dame. To see the boats in action go to the "Official photographer" of RCU. www.cdenslow.smugmug.com

Lots of great hull shots plus some spectacular crashes. Enjoy

Roger, Great photos. My heart sunk seeing the shots of the U-4 Miss Burien. What a bummer.

I only recall three boats hitting the rocks. One was a kicked up rudder that went thru the turn and didnt get shut down in time. The other two were radio failures.
