Hosted by Balboa Yacht Club
June 15, 2008
Very demanding conditions - light winds (gusts to 8mph), lots of power boat traffic, fishing boats on the race course, strong tide, a lot of good sailors, and short courses - made for very challenging racing. Some sank (from their usual levels of performance), some swam (literally), and some rose to the occasion. The current Class Championship team of Mark Gaudio and David Swain sailed excellently and well deserve the title of Fleet 1 Champions.
