John Laun has been a member of SDYC since 1987, was Commodore in 2015 and is an active racer on his J/120, caper. He talks about his title as the “Most Interesting Sailor in the World” at his Commodore’s Roast. “I’m probably the least most interesting sailor in the world,” John jokes.
After the San Diego Olympic Classes and invited sailors wrapped up their busy weekend of intense racing in the SDOCR, 32 Snipe sailors were getting their rest and preparing their boats for another day of competition on the Pacific Ocean. The Snipe North American Championships, which started on Saturday, October 6, ran one day longer than the SDOCR. Conditions for the final day were smoother than previous under sunny skies with an 8-12kt consistent breeze from the south.
Lumpy seas and a moderate Pacific Ocean swell this weekend didn’t dampen the spirit of the sailors from two days of intense sailing, hardy competition and for some, significant improvement. The inaugural San Diego Olympic Classes Regatta (SDOCR) was nothing short of a successful weekend. Over 80 boats in six fleets came out for the regatta and are already anticipating their return next year.
