Points: Soling 50’s & ODOM’s (Feb 14th, 2026)

Sunny skies, cool temperatures and southwesterly winds were the order of the day. Vice Commodore of Sail Chris Davidson RD’d both the Solings and the Odoms. The soling were first with surprisingly heavy winds (but with major shifts and holes at the windward end). Results follow:

Winds dropped and moved back to the south by the time the Odoms had their turn:

Points Day Results – ODOM’s & Soling 50’s (Jan 10th, 2026)

Perfect San Diego conditions for our first day of Points racing in 2026! Despite the Santa Ana winds that were forecast, we had sunny, 70 degree weather with light to moderate westerly winds.

RD Chris Davidson chose medium courses for the Odom Class which started off the days racing. Chris added a wrinkle to the Rules: The windward and leeward marks were ‘Cold’ (you could touch them, as long as you got around them on the correct side). This resulted in friendlier racing with not a single protest or complaint.

Commodore Emeritus Tom Warren started 2026 with 4 consecutive bullets including a perfectly executed Port Start. Well done, Tom!

The Solings were up next as the breezes became lighter and a bit more shifty. Chris Davidson selected a combination of medium and short courses.

Thanks to Vice Commodore Chris Davidson for setting up the course and running both Classes; and Secretary Gil Jansky for helping with the take-down.

Here are some excellent videos with commentary courtesy of Steve Ross!
