SB to SD 300 has a few of the SB sleds entered.

Forecasts to not look to be a sleigh ride.

Coastal Cup is looking pretty promising!

I was looking at the forecast for the SO Cal 300. But it is a ways out.

 

[El Borracho]

Slow out the gate. Might be a long day. The forecast doesn’t show the wind arriving until after sunset.

Certainly better than todays spinnaker cup race.

But, as you rightly point out. Still a ways off.

I was also looking at the local Oxnard coast line. Here is Predictwind for next Saturday at San Nicolas Island, 3 of the forecasts are not updating yet.. Not too bad and if windy there, the SC Passage may be good too. But the closer to SD, usually the more it fades

Well that was a slow spin cup, until it wasn’t. We ran out of course but had a good run! 

 

[Meat Wad]

I had to look up the results and you guys whooped some of the bigger boats. Awesome.

The Pt Bonita 27 is a One Off? at 2400lbs it should be a screamer. My Zap 26 is 3200 and it flies when the wind pips up.
Any shots or drawings of the under body?

I see the boat is racing to SB today.
It looks like it is blowing right now and they should fly. Good luck and be safe

Agreed. Cool looking boat. Not me. I'm on another cool boat for SoCal300 only.

Snapshot: 

 

[Nick G]

Slow first half, sporty second half. Finished in 14 hours on Skeleton Key after a fun last 35 miles or so. Little boats all brought the wind down to Ana Nuevo where the biggest boats were all waiting.  Next leg will one of restraint and caution. Keep the wheels on and finish. SK is in delivery mode heading to LBRW.

I've seen that shot. Very nice. I'd love to put my boat against it any time.

Been busy and finally got back to the tracker. Not sure how far behind in hrs it is. I looked at the Marinetraffic site and cannot fine any of the leaders.

Artemis is doing 16.9 heading for Pt Conception from the outside. It seems everyone else went to the inside.

 

[Frank White]

Tracker says Lucky Duck is heading to sure, all are safe. Wonder what happened there?

 

[Hitchhiker]

Pell Mell is going, well, Pell Mell.

Bad dues for the Ducks.
