The Helly Hansen NOOD Regatta, an early-spring weekend fixture on the San Diego Yacht Club calendar, will use VPP-based ratings from the Offshore Racing Association for a new Saturday-only mid-distance race.
I am so thankful for the competition fund for making it possible for me to participate in the LOCR! Lauderdale Yacht Club was very accommodating, and put on a great event. This was my first away regatta where I was on my own without my parents, and I learned so much about the nuances of traveling. I trained with the Lauderdale team for a few weeks before the event, and the venue was very different from back home. It took a whole different skill set to sail through large waves and variable, puffy/shifty wind. I met so many people and made a lot of new friends, and it was also cool to spend time with my teammates, Oscar Parzen and Devin Owen.
On this episode of the SDYC Sailcast, SDYC Commodore Mike Morton, Jr. joins us to talk about what’s been happening at the Club, the future of Club finances, recent additions and projects, and what some SDYC members have been involved in on the water.
Last December we attended the 2020 Orange Bowl and Open Orange Bowl regattas in Miami, Florida. Our family drove across the country towing a 29er and two lasers. The drive east was pretty uneventful, but we would get our share of excitement on the way back to San Diego! We arrived in Key Biscayne Thursday afternoon and unloaded our boats. The next day was spent at our hotel doing online school, our last day of school before winter break.
For the regatta, Calvin raced his laser, Alice and Sammie Gardner sailed a 29er, and Anton raced in an Opti.
US Sailing and host yacht clubs at spectacular sailing venues in Florida and California are thrilled to launch a new domestic racing and training series of Olympic-class regattas in 2021.
Your local Junior Directors are eager to get everyone safely racing as soon as possible, so we've created the 2021 SDAYC Winter Circuit to offer the most reliable local racing schedule possible for Sabots, Open Skiffs, Lasers, and C420s. Better yet, this enabled us to tune Team SDYC's Early Winter/Afterschool training opportunities to complement this regatta schedule, for minimum hassles and maximum sailing and progress! With events like the 2021 Junior Sabot Nationals and othe summer championships on deck, let's get busy on the water! Current SDAYC Jr Winter Circuit Results
