Today was a good day to go sailing in San Diego. The Pete Jefferson award was happening for DF 95’s.
Eleven skippers showed up for the challenge – aka The 12 Race Masters Series ribbon run. Conditions were 4-6 knots from the west.
Really great group. Sportsmanship was high that really made this day a blast and the dogs from Bobs grill (pond dogs) were the lunch break treat.
Dennis Rogers won the day with Chris Staiger in second and Larry Grant in third.
Jess Atkinson was our RD and the host. He ran a smooth and fun event as usual.
Experience over 120 boats racing over two days on San Diego Argonauts Model Yacht Pond. Competitors who are racing for year end championship points will go head to head running 6 laps (almost one mile) on a course with 30 foot diameter turns expectng to hold their lanes in heat racing style. Points are accumulated after four rounds of racing based on their place of finish with the traditional John Perry Studio trophies awarded at the end of the day.
Come view Semi-Vee Flat Bottom Boats, Sport Hydros, Crackerboxes, Catamarans, Jersey Skiffs, Outriggers, and the crowd favorite Classic Thunderboats.
There is no fee for spectating. Bring a chair or a blanket and kick back and enjoy the San Diego summer sun.
Perfect sailing conditions greeted the twelve competitors for the inaugural Tri-Dragon Team Challenge; the first of its kind in Travelers Trophy history. Six teams fought hand-to-hand in tightly sailed matches all afternoon. Many heats were decided by lead changes just before the finish. The Championship was determined by the Final Race of the day between Team Red and Team Green. Congratulations to the winners and all the participants! (Special thanks to Len Bose who gave up his racing spot to a fellow competitor to help Umpire the Event!)
