We raced this past weekend -- From San Pedro to Dana Point keeping Catalina Island to port. It was WINDY out there. We clocked 20-30 through the channel on the way to the west end and 25-40 with 8-10 ft. seas down the backside of the island. Fun race though, even though the ride down the backside of the island was white knuckle time.
There was one other Ericson in the race, but they were apparently in cruising class which did not go around the island. We saw another Ericson on Sunday on the way back. I could not identify the boat, but it appeared to be headed for Angels Gate.
