Marina del Rey to San Diego Race

Orlando

This message is for all Erickson owners in the Southern California area:

I thought Erickson owners might be interested in hearing about the 34th running of the Marina del Rey to San Diego Race on June 30 - July 1. Each year we attract racers from all over the state-and around the country-to participate in the best overnight sailboat race around. The renewed version of the event is called "Survive the Night!" and is sponsored by Santa Monica Windjammers' YC of Marina del Rey in conjunction with Southwestern YC of San Diego.

The fun starts on June 29 at the Santa Monica Windjammers YC where there will be dinner, drinks and dancing to kick-off the weekend festivities. Everyone is invited, a party mood will be a requirement!

The race starts on June 30th with PHRF and Cruising classes and for the first time, this year we will be having a Double-handed Division to accompany the sailors down the coast. As in previous years, the Cruising Division will be permitted to motor, although this year, the motoring aspect will be similar to the Ensenada race. You will be able to motor for a longer time but you will incur a penalty the longer you motor.

The course usually features light winds and gentle seas, and as such, is great for those skippers and crew new to ocean racing

After the finish, usually 24 hours after the start, the partying will begin in San Diego. The beautiful Southwestern YC will have slips and raft-up accommodations for all participants. There will be a buffet dinner, drinks, dancing and plenty of chances to tell lies about the previous nights' racing. The trophy and awards presentation will be on Monday, July 2nd at 9:00am.

This is really only the beginning, we start on Monday afternoon and for the rest of the week, a flotilla of boats head back up the coat, harbor hopping--with planned stops in Mission Bay, Dana Point and Avalon--all the way to Isthmus Cove on Catalina Island where the partying will continue until we all head home on Sunday, July 8th.
