Welcome to the 2012, 3rd Annual NHYC / SDYC Islands Race


Need a ride to Newport or Long Beach for the start of the race? Or a ride back North after the race? SDYC has reserved a bus for both Friday morning and Saturday afternoon, making several stops.

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.
