Points Day Results – DF95’s & IOM’s (Nov 29th, 2025)

It looks like we are getting into a fall/winter wind pattern here in San Diego. Storms followed by high pressure and off shore flow seem to dominate at this time of the year. Fortunately our pond still provides light onshore wind that keep our yachts moving. (mostly!)

We had a good day of sailing with both classes completing 6 races each. Special thanks to our two ad hoc RD’s, Tom Warren and Kerim Baran. We could not play this game without you! Also thanks to Jess Atkinson, Chris Davidson and Bill Bridge for setting courses and clean-up.

Chris Davidson has returned from Oz.. Check the score card! Welcome back Chris!!

2025 Fun & Fowl Regatta (Nov 22, 2025)

Len Bose and Doc Elliott were trapped in Orange County due to the closure of I-5, so there were 8 competitors for the 2025 Fun & Fowl Regatta. Saturday began drizzly, cold and windless, but a sizeable Peanut Gallery gathered to witness the spectacle.

After a ‘waiting for the wind’ delay, PRO Ben Reeve called the first race; a short course drifter that seemed much longer than it took. After a race or two, a light breeze from the northwest began to fill in a bit and Ben tried some medium courses.

Eventually, the fingery breeze freshened and became almost due west, so Ben ran a Looong course. The temperatures rose and a bit of sunshine peeked through the clouds as the breeze slackened a bit but remained pretty smooth with only minor to moderate shifts.

Tom Warren acted as ‘Head Peanut,’ as well as co-RD and acquired the ‘Fowl’ prizes. Thanks also to Bill Bridge who (as usual) made himself indispensable with the rescue boat and setting marks.
