Points Day Results – DF95 & IOM (Dec. 27th 2025)

Last Saturday was a beautiful winter day in San Diego! We had an exceptional turnout with DF95 and IOM skippers eager to finish the points season on a positive note..

Chris Davidson posted this regatta report:

Thanks to all that turned out for the last races of the season.
Ty & Sandra Beach did an amazing job as Race Directors for both classes on the day with a mixture of medium and long courses giving competitors plenty of racing.
A big thanks to Jack and the several guys that lent a hand with the marks and boat. Many hands do make light work. 🙂
A glorious day at the pond with plenty of sunshine and although somewhat testing breeze, the competition was top notch.
Plenty of winners to share bragging rights!
A very warm welcome to our newest member, Connor Albertson, who I am sure will share some wins himself in the future.

See you all soon! 🙂

Regards

Chris

OCT.21-DF95 & IOM Points

A fantastic day greeted a nice group of skippers, on our last points event for October. DF95 and IOM fleets experienced consistent 6-10mph north west breezes that held trough out the day.

Craig Mackey was our volunteer Race Director for the DF95 fleet and managed 6 races on our standard medium course. There was some tight racing in the in the top ranks but Dennis Rogers came out on top with some beautiful sailing.

Chris Staiger stepped up as Race Director for the IOM fleet. The wind was favorable for long courses, so five longs and one modified (“Freddy”) medium course filled up the day. Mike Fruciano made the road trip from Arizona.. Thank you Mike for your participation! Congratulations Dennis Rogers for some very consistent sailing!

Bob Williams, once again, pushed that semi-portable grill half way around the world to serve up his specialty.. HOT DOGS!! Thank you Bob!!

Thank You Pat Nevitt for the beautiful score sheets.. YOU ROCK!! After all, scores are the meat of this post!

DF95’s DON’T FORGET NOVEMBER 11

SEE YOU AT THE POND.. Gil

AUG.12 Points-DF95 & IOM

Blockbuster Turnout for the DF95 Fleet!

A HUGE starting line for twenty seven DF95’s was the image today. Likely a record number of yachts participating in a club points race! We welcome new member Jim Sears and returning local sailor Jack Kingston. Also, visiting skipper from Australia, Barry Donaher showed us some excellent pond work. We wish Kerim Baran Smooth Sailing on his new home in the Bay Area!

Greg Williams, our Race Director managed the work load with ease and deserves special recognition for an excellent day of race management. Jason Brooks assisted with score keeping on an action packed finish line.. A Standing Ovation for our volunteers!

A fairly consistent onshore breeze held through most out the day with each class completing 6 medium courses. I’d call it an excellent day on Mission Bay Model Yacht Pond!
