September 27-28, 2008 - Results
Team SDYC put in a strong showing at the ABYC Fall Invitational with our boy Scotty Sinks sailing a phenomenal second day to finish 2nd overall. Georgie Ryan put together an impressive series thanks to her cross-training in double handed boats to take 3rd. Patrick Snow (6th) and Will LaDow (7th) also put in a strong series and just missed out on the hardware. Also congrats to our C3ers Megan Isler and Ryley Ryan for keeping their heads up on the tough courses and long days!
Hurricane Gustav wasn’t the only impressive weather pattern over the Labor Day weekend. Snowstorms Patrick and Nevin buried Alamitos Bay Yacht Club along with a small but potent squall from Team SDYC! Patrick Snow turned in the long-expected win in the Sabot A Fleet, with teammates Georgie Ryan (3rd), and Zach Downing (4th) right behind. In the B Fleet, Jack Ryan kept it real with a top-half 6th. On the Laser Radial course, it was Sabot National Champion Judge Ryan in 8th, while Nevin Snow continued his streak of hot regattas with an impressive 2nd in the 48 boat fleet. Great sailing team!

The Junior Director shall accept applications from a number of qualified teams that adequately fill the allotted time for practice during the week and high school regattas during selected weekends. The number of boats shall be assigned by the Junior Director to reflect an equal and fair distribution and usage by the number of teams whose applications have been accepted.

High School sailing team coaches shall be under the direct supervision of the SDYC Junior Sailing Director.
The charter fee paid by each high school sailor covers use of the boat, sails and normal wear. Damage beyond normal wear such as that resulting from collision with other boats or during docking will be billed to the sailor(s) involved.
The SDYC Junior Sailing program shall have priority over High School sailing participants in the use of SDYC sailboats, support boats and equipment.
