Commodore's Challenge Postponed Again!

Although we have had lots of interest in the Commodore’s Challenge, this weekend presents a problem for many of the people who wanted to participate and will be challenging for anyone who wants to spend time at the Club due to the traffic and parking restrictions.  Therefore, we are going to postpone this event again.  While it seems like we might never get this event off, we have had to deal with bad weather, conflicts due to the untimely passing of a key member of our Club and now the numerous conflicts of this weekend.  Guess I will have to file this one under “Life Happens!”

Stay tuned for a rescheduled date, but with the other events we have planned for the Summer, it will likely be in the Fall.

Cal 20 - Taco Tuesdays Week Two

After a very close race separated by a scant 16 seconds, RisQue skippered by Risa Scott and crewed by Cheri Rhynard, Laurie Little and Jason Hite edged out Bette Boop skippered by Warren Wolfe. Congratulations to Risa and her crew. Full results for the race are posted.
Also the series standings are posted.

Border Run 2

Shoreline Yacht Club has been named the Organizing Authority for Border Run 2, a new race which will be held on Friday, June 29^th.  As you see above there will be four different courses from which the racers can choose, finishing in either Newport Beach, Dana Point or San Diego. Although this year’s Border Run which was held in early March drew 235 racers, our target for this as a new event is 100 boats.  The picture shown above is the start of the 2012 Border Run which featured one start on one start line for all 235 boats racing over three different courses.

In order to showcase our Club and make this an event that racers will look forward to in future years, we will need lots of volunteers especially at the start.  If you are interested in volunteering your time, drop me an email at the address below.

See you on the water.
