J/105 Wins Class In Coastal Cup Race

J/105 sailing Coastal Cup race to santa barbara, ca (Santa Barbara, CA)- This year the Coastal Cup returned to the beautiful city of Santa Barbara. Though little more than an hour north of Los Angeles, Santa Barbara is an oasis of peace and quiet on the warm, sandy California coast. The Spanish architecture and rugged mountains sloping down to the sea combine to give the city a distinctively Mediterranean flavor, and make it a tourist favorite.

Racing down the coast from San Francisco to Santa Barbara is fun and challenging, featuring a wide range of conditions - from the unpredictable upwind beat out past Land's End, the white knuckle spinnaker reaching off the treacherous Pt. Conception and Pt. Sur, to ghosting in the light morning breezes through the Channel Islands to finish off Santa Barbara. There is truly something to satisfy every sailing appetite.

This year, the J/125 TIMESHAVER sailed by Viggo Torbensen managed to grab third overall with Ed Sanford's J/105 CREATIVE won their class and the J/35c PEGASUS sailed by Marc Sykes finished second in class.   Watch J/125 TIMESHAVER sailing video on Coastal Cup Race  For more Coastal Cup Race sailing information
