First Cal-25 Stadium Sailing – GPYC Summer Regatta Jun-29 Prior to the event: Wally Cross approached the Cal-25 class with the idea for Stadium sailing last year at our annual awards/winter party. The idea was well received then and voted into reality at our Cal-25 Spring meeting.   Instead of racing two W/L races on c-course […]

Class Members & Friends — We had another festive and entertaining Detroit Cal-25 Winter/Season Awards Party two weeks ago. There was plenty of good food and drink for all to enjoy. Thanks to all those that brought a dish to share and for swapping sailing stories & tall tales throughout the night. The annual Hummers […]

The GPYC Summer regatta had been cancelled/abandoned for the past three years due to inclement weather.  This year’s event turned out much better and afforded the teams great sailing conditions albeit hot weather. Once again, the Cal-25 fleet had only two boats show up to compete.  As a result, the two Cal-25s were put into […]

DRYA changed this year’s DBC regatta format from the point-to-point to a windward leeward course in an attempt to increase participation.  There was hope that we would see more Cal-25s on the starting line this week too – unfortunately this was not the case. As it turned out we had another light air regatta and […]

It was a nice day of racing until the wind turned off. We had a good turnout with six Cal-25s charging the starting line. The DYC PP course was the usual triangle with the start at the GPYC and the finish located in front of the DYC river dock. All our Cals got off to […]

The first DRYA race of the 2018 season is now in the history book. What started off looking like it was going to be a cold wet day actually turned out to be a great day for racing. Five eager Cal-25 crews showed up to the starting line for the first contest, FRUNOBULAX, Never Alone, […]

Nice showing from our fleet this past Saturday with 7 out for the final DRYA race of the season in warm and windy conditions. This Saturday is the Bayview Yacht Club North Channel Race. It is the last race of our championship counters for 2015, and more importantly is a classic and epic endeavor that […]

The Cal 25 fleet was impressive during the BYC Distance Race: 6 boats, all finishing within 11 minutes 28 seconds of each other after almost six hours of racing. This Saturday is the GPYC Bluenose Regatta. Sailing Instructions here: http://www.drya.org/race2015/SIs/GPYCBNSIs.pdf  Note: FREE tacos and FREE Dragonmead beer!!!!! And if you win….FREE Dragonmead hats! This is […]

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 […]

What a spectacular sight it was this past Friday to see the 10-strong Cal 25 class leading the fleet around the race course on a beautiful night.  Once again the Edison Boat Club threw a great party afterward – splendid evening all around. This Saturday is the Crescent Sail Yacht Club Regatta.   SIs here:  http://www.crescentsail.com/Home/2015RegattaProgram.pdf […]
