June One Design Weekend
Jun 8 - 9, 2024 |
Long-time SDYC members Jim Pugh and John Reichel not only celebrated the fortieth year of their naval architecture studio here in Point Loma, but did so with purpose by sweeping the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race podium. Reichel/Pugh Design No. 162 66' Canting Ballast Alive, owned by Philip Turner and skippered by Duncan Hine, was awarded the coveted Tattersall Cup, as the overall WINNER of the 2023 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race with the best corrected time under IRC—a symbol of supremacy in one of the toughest races in the world. The result seals a terrific performance for Reichel/Pugh in the race, as the top three overall came from their design board, with the Reichel/Pugh 72' URM Group second overall, Reichel/Pugh 69’ Moneypenny taking third place overall, and Reichel/Pugh 40’ Chutzpah 3rd in IRC Div. 2.

At a recent coed Grandmasters Team Race Regatta, a teammate told me he didn’t understand why there were women-only sailboat races—as if to say, what’s the point? His comment was a brave one in today’s “woke” world, but it’s something that men and women alike probably think about a lot more than they talk about. Yet it raises a valid conundrum as our predominantly male sport pushes toward wider female inclusion: Why isolate women to their own sideshows when the long-term goal is organic integration across the sport?
As I listened to his comments, many of which I’ve heard before, I thought about the fact that several signature women’s events, like the International Women’s Keelboat Regatta and the Santa Maria Cup, are either dead or not as popular as they once were. And later, as I reflected on our discussion, I took stock of our competitors at the Newport Harbor YC Palmer Trophy. Eight of the 54 sailors—15 percent—were women.
“It’s important to have this dialogue,” says Nicole Breault, the first woman to earn St. Francis YC’s Yachtsman of the Year. Breault is a one-design champion and currently competing in the revived Women’s World Match Racing Tour. “Segregation,” she says, “is part of the process of developing a deeper talent pool among women.”

Ten races were sailed in spectacular conditions from October 31 through November 4. Bruce Golison’s team withstood a UFD penalty in Race Two to gain the runner-up position with a scoreline of: 5, UFD/84, 2, 39, 1, 4, 2, 6, 17, 5. For Bruce and his team, this makes back to back second place finishes at the J70 World Championships.
Eighty-three teams from 15 nations competed from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Germany, Great Britain, Mexico, Monaco, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the USA.

The Women’s Winter Invitational is sailed at SDYC directly off the docks in La Playa and features the Club’s J/22 sailboats, which are sponsored by Mount Gay. The course can expect more than 80 sailors over 24 teams for an action-packed regatta weekend on and off the water.
Read Article >>At the end of September, I traveled to Rochester New York to compete at the 2023 US Match Racing Championship for the Prince of Wales Bowl. My three other teammates, who are all current or past members of my collegiate sailing team, traveled from around the country to meet me in Rochester.
This event was our first time to test ourselves against some of the best match racers in the country, including world-ranked #1 and multiple other top 30 world-ranked match racers. The format was a single round robin into quarter-finals, then sem-finals, and then finals. Rochester Yacht Club had a great setup, with 8 sonars and warm hospitality. Lake Ontario also provided great conditions, each day brought wind into the teens and one day over 20kts. These conditions provided a challenge for all competitors trying to optimize their boat handling, which is all-important in match racing.
Read Article >>350+ sailors and 42 Beneteau yachts came to San Diego Yacht Club the weekend of Sept. 16th and 17th from all over Southern California, for what has evolved over 10 years into the largest All Beneteau Regatta in the world, the San Diego Beneteau Cup!
With an instructional, encouraging, and fun format, especially tailored towards new and novice racers, Regatta Co-Chairs Barrett and Lily Canfield of South Coast Yachts are very pleased with how the regatta has grown over the years, and with how many of the sailors introduced to racing at Beneteau Cup have gone on to compete in, and place well in other Southern California and regional regattas such as the Beer Can Series, Hot Rums, CRA Sponsored races, and long distance races, like Newport- Ensenada.
