Race Documents

The 2012 Sailing Instructions and Rating Sheets are now available. SI Amendment #1 sets the correct starting order, and SI Amendment #2 removes requirement to carry a Race Tracker from the OA, as the trackers will not be available for this year's event.

Great parties, an offshore overnight race taking us around our own beautiful Channel Islands Catalina and San Clemente, wind (if it will be windy anywhere it will be offshore in February), a course that will test various points of sail, class racing where possible, easy and understandable ratings (think Hot Rum series), US based race logistics, first to finish and first overall historic perpetual trophies rededicated by SDYC and NHYC to the Islands Race, dates that feed into our next races and a Saturday finish/party so we all have a Sunday to recover.
