2008 Summer Program
Summer sailing at DPYC is rockin' and rollin' and the best is yet to come! Friday, July 18 we are packing up at least 12 sailors and heading down to San Diego for the annual Dutch Shoe Marathon Race! The race begins at San Diego Yacht Club and heads out across the bay, down the coast of North Island, under the Coronado Bridge, into Glorieta Bay . . . finishing in front of Coronado Yacht Club, where trophies will be presented and a burger bash will follow for the hungry racers! This is a great character builder race! I guarantee none of you will ever forget your first Dutch Shoe!

The following Thursday is another great event called the Jessica Uniak Memorial Beach to Bay Race! We will be trucking a load of Sabots and possibly one Laser up to Long Beach, where the kids will splash their boats by the Queen Mary and sail down the long beachfront, in front of the pier, into Alamitos Bay and finish in front of Long Beach Yacht Club.

Jeremy and the instructor staff work really hard on these regatta days. They are responsible for transport, rigging supervision, on the water safety boat prep and clean-up, and de-rigging and debriefing . . . Along with any number of potential boat fix-it emergencies and of course the trip back to DPYC with all those boats! Please be sure to give them a huge thanks for all they do for our racers! Thanks also to all our wonderful volunteer parents who make these days incredibly memorable for all our kids!

If you are thinking about racing in the Junior Sabot Nationals, please let Jeremy know right away so that we can get your boat properly measured at DWYC next week. Nationals is to be held at Mission Bay Yacht Club in San Diego this year and even if you don't qualify or maybe want to wait another year before trying to qualify . . . this is a great venue to watch competitive junior sailing at it's best and highest level . . . and you can hang out on the beautiful deck and swimming beach and watch your DPYC peers compete in this prestigious event! Junior Sabot Nationals takes place August 4 - 7. August 4th is qualifying day, August 5th is flight selection, and August 6th and 7th are the actual race days. Come on down and root for DPYC and DWYC sailors!

Here are a few pictures from the first half of sailing camp 2008. Enjoy!   [Summer 2008 slideshow]
