San Diego Yacht Club will host the 2016 Finn Pacific Coast Championship (PCC) for the third consecutive year on September 17 & 18, 2016. Chaired by SDYC’s Rear Commodore, Mike Dorgan, this year’s championship will be a warm up event for the Finn Masters North American Championship taking place at Mission Bay Yacht Club the following weekend.
San Diego Yacht Club began hosting the Beneteau Cup in 2003 for 36.7 and 40.7 one design racing. After noticing a drop in participation in 2008 and 2009, longtime race organizers Rick Day and Barrett Canfield approached the 2010 race with a new focus. Starting in 2010, the race was restructured as a fun and educational way to invite Beneteau owners, especially cruisers that are not built for racing, out on the water.
The International Women’s Keelboat Regatta (IWKR) was hosted by American Yacht Club in Rye, NY the second week of August. Sixteen international teams consisting of four women each competed in J/70s. The regatta saw typical Long Island conditions – mostly light, shifty winds and strong currents.
As the final weeks of summer were drawing to an end for others mine was just getting started. For roughly sixteen days, minus two days of break, I was nonstop sailing at three of the most competitive events in junior sailing. The first event was the US Youth Championships held in Coronado, the second was the Chubb US Junior Championships for the Bemis Trophy hosted by Mission Bay Yacht Club, and the final event was the Club 420 North Americans hosted by Cabrillo Beach Yacht Club.
