Ever-changing Weather Provided Plenty of Challenges in KHYC's Spring One Design Regatta

Posted Mon, 04/02/2012 - 3:23pm by pcameronx

Despite a rather grim weather forecast, this weekend’s Spring One Design regatta in King Harbor was well attended, including five Martins from Marina Del Rey. Denise George made it all happen by towing a daisy chain of Martins down the coast, greatly simplifying the logistics and removing any excuse for not being there.

First organized Fleet Practice - HUGE TURNOUT!

Posted Sat, 02/25/2012 - 3:24pm by Denise George

We had a huge turnout for our first practice of the year! 6 boats total showed up to shake off the rust and get their crews ready for Mid Winters. We had a plan and stuck to the plan, everyone felt it was productive both on the water and off. Off the water we followed up with beer and a 30 minute debrief at the CYC hoist. Skippers and crew learned from each other as we talked through the drills and how to execute them.

Martin 242s Represent Largest One-Design Class at 2012 SCYA Midwinter Regatta

The SCYA Midwinters took place this last weekend, February 18-19, and the Martin fleet was well represented as usual with 11 boats on the line, more than any other one-design class. This is quite an accomplishment because the Midwinters take place in, well, the middle of the winter. Fortunately, we had very good sailing weather and super exciting racing.
