2015 Bayview Long Distance Race

Kudos to the four boats who went out in some chilly and windy conditions this past Saturday: Second Wind, Frunobulax, Clytie, and Patriot. The DYC Sweepstakes turned out to be another windward/leeward race day in which just one race got run….noting that the entire season yielded us only 5 windward/leeward races as we had one […]

2015 DYC Sweepstakes

Eight of us had a good fun race from GPYC to DYC on Saturday, with five different boats in the lead at one point or another.  Note that only seven Cal 25s got scored – if you are not a DRYA-registered boat you need to verify with the committee pre-start that you are there.  Half […]

2015 GLYC – Early Bird — May-16
