San Diego Yacht Club is pleased to host the PCISA/ISSA Girls National High School Invitational Regatta on October 20-21, 2018. Founded by SDYC's Mary Brigden-Snow, this is the largest National, High School Girls regatta today. The SDYC junior program is uniquely positioned to host events like this. Our outstanding junior facility, a fleet of 24 CFJ's, and an armada of coach boats, means teams from around the country can be hosted at SDYC.
John Laun has been a member of SDYC since 1987, was Commodore in 2015 and is an active racer on his J/120, caper. He talks about his title as the “Most Interesting Sailor in the World” at his Commodore’s Roast. “I’m probably the least most interesting sailor in the world,” John jokes.
After the San Diego Olympic Classes and invited sailors wrapped up their busy weekend of intense racing in the SDOCR, 32 Snipe sailors were getting their rest and preparing their boats for another day of competition on the Pacific Ocean. The Snipe North American Championships, which started on Saturday, October 6, ran one day longer than the SDOCR. Conditions for the final day were smoother than previous under sunny skies with an 8-12kt consistent breeze from the south.
Lumpy seas and a moderate Pacific Ocean swell this weekend didn’t dampen the spirit of the sailors from two days of intense sailing, hardy competition and for some, significant improvement. The inaugural San Diego Olympic Classes Regatta (SDOCR) was nothing short of a successful weekend. Over 80 boats in six fleets came out for the regatta and are already anticipating their return next year.
For this year’s Extreme Sailing Regatta, the “Chat with Champions” event will be held at 5:45PM on Friday, October 19th and is open to any junior sailor who would like to attend.
