Bruised, physically and mentally exhausted but not defeated. We had ups and downs, good recoveries, and losses on the racecourse over the five days of racing. Nevertheless, we are bettered and craving for more sailing at the highest level. Incredible fleet quality at the 2026 Gold Cup. It was a privilege to get on the racecourse with some of the best sailors from Europe and Oceania. We feel extremely lucky and blessed to stay competitive at this level. There is a laundry list of training items waiting for us at home getting ready for the next event. All things considered, Rodion finished 9th and Nikita 24th at the 2026 Finn World Championship aka Finn Gold Cup.

Big thank you to Phill Ramming, John Hourihan, and Rob Coutts for logistical support; GCPRO for supporting our endeavors, our family and the Cuckoo Bus Sailing Team for always being there for us.

Tough first two days. Gusting up to 28 knots. Super strong fleet. Another 3 days to go.

Lessons learned: taking a swim in the middle of the race is slow. Jibing with your vang tight in over 25 knots is a no go, sometime setting a goal of finisng the race upright is a commendable one.

Practice day turned out to be somewhat disastrous. With some gusts over 30 against the tide Rodion deathrolled downwind stucking the mast into the mud, luckily no broken equipment besides lost chocks and a water bottle. The first start is in 5 hours, same forecast. Keeping fingers crossed 🤞!

Thank you Robert Deaves for the great pictures!

We had a 2 hour practice yesterday with 11-14 knots of wind and a good wave - feeling strong. Completed check in and measurement in full compliance. Pending sticking the regatta sponsorship stickers when the heat subsides. Another light practice scheduled for tomorrow. Today we are going to take it easy, prep the boats, and standby for the forecasted 18-20 knots on Sunday.

Cuckoo flock landed in Brisbane! Only 3 hours in Australia and we were on the water practicing with Nik trying to postpone sleepy time until it was reasonable. Giant thank you to Rob Coutts, John Hourihan, and Phill Ramming for packing and unpacking the boats. You guys - rock! Special thanks to John for awsome “Team USA” shirts!

Next on the agenda:
- glue sponsor stickers
- watch the weather
- clean the boats
