The Elizabeth Hospice Regatta

post #65
Oceanside, CA

Oceanside Yacht Clubs Charity Regatta to benefit The Elizabeth Hospice was August 8th&9th. It was a perfect weekend of warm wind and sunny skies. 7 boats from Dana Point and Newport made the trip to join Oceanside’s racers in this great annual regatta for a good cause. The regatta consisted of 3 buoys races on Saturday with a random leg race on Sunday with a great party in between.

Ullman Sails customers came out on top, taking the majority of the top spots. The Henderson 30 “Power Point” featuring a complete inventory of Ullman Sails won class ‘A’. Second place also sailing with Ullman Sails was the J-133 ‘Tango’ from Newport Beach.

In Class ‘B’, racing was close with a tie for first place and the win going to Dana Point’s ‘Martela’. ‘Martela’, an IMX 38, also features Ullman Sails in her inventory. The Columbia 30, ‘Kamikaze’ was second.

Class ‘C’ was won by ‘Sol Mate’ with the Merit 25, ‘Double Trouble in Second.
