Sorry, but due to ocean conditions,
this regatta is not appropriate for beginner sailors.
New this year, we allowed sailors to leave the course between races to confer with coaches.
However, all coach and spectator boats had to remain outside the race course at all times.
Please refer to the 2008 Sail Instructions for the official rule.
Our not-to-be-missed guest speaker was SCYC Junior Max Fraser.
Sailing with David Liebenburg, the dynamite duo just won the 29er North American Champs in Kingston, Ontario,
against a fleet of 60 boats!
Participants learned from the best.
Enjoy racing on Monterey Bay,
lunch on Saturday and Sunday,
continental breakfast, Tee-Shirt, Prizes,
