(San Diego, CA)- This past weekend the Sailing Anarchy team hosted their annual ISAF- International Sportboat Anarchy Festival, much to the delight and glee of "fast sailing boat" enthusiasts. As SA columnist Alan Block explains, "I didn't realize that working with Scot and the CYC would be such a big job this weekend, but we have to admit that every minute was worth it after an awesome three days of racing in near-perfect summer conditions out of Coronado Yacht Club in San Diego's South Bay.
70-odd boats from Weta trimarans through J/125s had an absolute blast, with 10 races from Friday to Sunday, racing like boats on short courses for constant action and adrenaline from start til finish."Alan goes on to say, "We had beautiful sailing conditions - 10-12 knots, 80 degrees temps for the races. The large fleet on two courses kept things busy in San Diego's South Bay today, but the low-key attitude and great weather made it all just fine at the Sailing Anarchy ISAF World Championship of the World regatta."
Leading the charge for the "big sportboats" were the J/125s. Tim Fuller's RESOLUTE from San Diego YC finished just out of the money to get second overall in Sportboat A Division (photo above of RESOLUTE Team getting awards from Scot and Trophy Girl). Just a bit off the pace, perhaps because Tim kept match-racing them back into the tank, was Mark Surber's DERIVATIVE from Coronado YC getting a 5th in the 20+ boat class...still a good showing racing against a bunch of pesky 26-33 foot over-canvassed sportboats.
