The Coast Guard won the first Armed Forces Cup Perpetual Trophy June 3 in Alameda, Calif., according to the Alameda Sun. Apparently, Club Nautique Sailing School invited each branch of the military to see who could sail the fastest. Each branch provided crews of three, along with a Club Nautique skipper on board Colgate 26s. They competed in four races. The club, a sailing school and yacht charter company in the San Francisco Bay area, hopes to make the race an annual event.
