July 17th WHYC Eric Erickson, Alamitos Bay / Oil Islands

(Chair - Chris Frost)

This on the water event starts with a race around the islands off Long Beach and finishes with a get together behind Island White onboard one of our larger club boats (previously Dirigo II). In the old days this event was one of the largest on the West coast attracting over a hundred wooden sailboats. Although now more modest this event has been really enjoyed by those who attend. Smaller boats are welcome to raft up with the host boat and a whaler will be on hand to ferry over to the party participants who have anchored or moored behind the island. This is a great event for those that aren't into racing, spend the afternoon in the anchorage watching the racers and join us for the party in the evening.
August 8th WHYC Wild Goose Chase, Long Beach to Newport Beach

(Chairs - Tom Zetlmaier and Bill Dunlap)

Another of our historic races returns with an easy run down hill from Long Beach to Newport Beach and an evening social gathering in Newport Beach. We hope to banish the boat-eating fog which beset the fleet last year !!!
