June 26 & 27th, StFYC / Sperry Topsider NOOD Regatta in San Francisco Bay.
A fleet of 9 Wetas competed in the first annual Weta West Coast Championships. The race course was off Treasure Island right in the middle of "The Slot" in SF bay with winds ranging from 18 - 15kts.
Chris Kitchen (Weta New Zealand) won the regatta with 8 bullets followed by David Berntsen (WetaWest - US West Coast Dealer) and Bob Hyde in third place. Bob is the first Weta owner in San Francisco and has been active in building the fleet since 2008.
Enthusiastic Weta fleets are growing throughout the US with 70+ new boats being delivered in the US (including Hawaii) in 2010.

The Weta is really the only small Tri I would consider owning, looking at the other types like the windrider range and while they are cheap; I really dont think they perform anywhere near the same as the Weta.
Put it this way, if ever got to a stage where I could no longer sail my RS700 Skiff, I would go Weta for sure.....pricey boat for sure, but when you look at the cost of, say, the RS700...it looks to be comparable in performance.
