(San Diego, CA)- Over the New Year's weekend, San Diego hosted their
annual New Year's Day Regatta, a fun, easy-going event to usher in the
New Year off the sunny, southern California coast. Managing to avoid
the big crushes at the starts and the numerous mark-roundings, Dennis
and Sharon Case racing their J/105 WINGS won Division 3, beating 17
boats competing in their division, including J/80s, Etchells, Olson 34s
and Columbia 50s. Finishing third was Fisher/ Dagostino's J/105 VIGGEN
and fifth was Larry Boline's and Bob Kyle's J/105 JET STREAM. In Division 4, the J/27 BLACKADDER sailed by David Cattle finished second just behind a Star boat sailed by World Champion George Szabo! Not too far off the pace was Bob Noe's J/30 MAD HATTER in sixth.
In Division 2, Kenyon Martin and crew were having fun enjoying one of their first sails on the new J/111 "THREE", finishing sixth and just behind them in ninth was John Laun's CAPER. For more New Year's San Diego sailing information. For more J/105 sailboat information.
