52 should be there. Trying to finalize some details.
-
Anyone willing to be the point person for this regatta... I will list on the U20 Website and the point person just needs to send me a final report on the event.
Thanks,
Gregg

I am the point person. Sailing World is listing me on their website.

I was wanting to do it this year (it should be PCC this year because NAs are in the fall on the west coast) but I now have a life commitment at that time that will prevent me from coming to race.
However, one of my regular crew (Michael Ellis) would like to go down and crew. He has tons of racing experience and has good local knowledge as he has raced in San Diego a bunch. He is a member of the forum and will be following this thread I would imagine.

Awesome looks like we have 5 (with Glen) already. Any more Utah or California boats?
-
There are 1 to 2 more boats from Colorado and one to 2 more from Utah and one more from CA. That would be at least 10. Should be a good time.

I have 2 rooms at the Vagabond!

Skippers meeting and friday party are at Coronado this year.
-

Parties, parties everywhere...you spoke, we listened. This year, the Sperry Top-Sider NOOD Regatta parties in San Diego will be at the Coronado Yacht Club on Friday night and at the San Deigo Yacht Club on Saturday night and Sunday after racing. Plus stay tuned to hear what Sperry Top-Sider has in store for you this year....new and improved parties await you!
West Marine helps NOODs go Green...that's right folks, West Marine will have a water table set up so that you can fill your reusable water bottles (that will be in your skippers bags) and give those disposable plastic bottles (and the environment) a break.
NORTH Sails has you covered...North Sails and Southern Spars have partnered with Sailing Weather Service to provide free detailed daily weather forecasts for the Sperry Top-Sider San Diego NOOD Regatta from March 15-17, 2013.

Nice fleet -
Sailing Anarchy (Scor Tempesta) is racing a U20 !
U20-159 will be there with a team from WD Schock
-
So where are all the classes racing out of? I'm assuming the u20s and vipers at cyc. Who else is there?
-
Flying Tigers usually and buccaneers.
-
J70s, j80s! I'm just thinking of the hoist chaos if all the trailerable boats show up there. I may need to borrow someone's bridal.
-
J80's and J24's are usually outside. Don't know about the J70's.
-
The U20s and V640 get to have all the fun to themselves at Coronado.
Launching will be smooth and easy. Always great breeze in the lower Bay.
The smaller classes of trailer boats are sailing out of Shelter Isand.
-
Went up to marina del Rey to take the mast down. No easy task by yourself! I'll probably be heading down Thursday. Scot tempesta has chartered our boat so beware! Give him a wide berth. I don't want any scratches. ;(
-
Friday Report:
3 races in a wide range of breeze in SD South Bay. The U20s lived up to their reputation of fair and spirited competition. The fleet leaders as of today really earned their spots. They had to work hard for every boat the entire regatta. In races 1&3, the entire fleet finished tightly together.
Dave Reed, editor of Sailing World, drove a U20 for the first time. In the first race he rounded the weather mark first ( both times ). Scot Tempesta, editor of Sailing Anarchy, also drove a U20 and did very well.
On to tomorrow !

Great set of photos

Sorry it will be my only trip west this year.
