2021 was another successful year of Finn sailing for the SDYC Finn Fleet and SoCal Finn sailors up and down the California coast with a total of 33- Finns sailing for the SDYC Highpoint Champs and 44 Finns sailing for the Ironman Highpoint trophy. A special thanks go out to the participating Finn fleets from Mission Bay Yacht Club, Newport Harbor Yacht Club, and Alamitos Bay Yacht Club w/ Finn sailors continuing to travel north and south depending on the regatta schedule making for a lot of fun weekends on the water in a wide range of conditions. Also, a special thanks go out to our fine team of RC volunteers here at SDYC where they make it look easy- spoiling us with high-quality race management… Without their time on the water and commitment to running super races, these results would not be possible.
SDYC High Point and Ironman were BOTH won by James Buley, sailing a fantastic season and if not winning, always near the front and/or on the podium when the dust settled at the end of the weekends… James has put in more time than any other Finn sailor and the addition of his brand new Fantastica Devoti from Europe has proven to be the winning combination. Congrats Buley!
