The annual regatta hosted by over a dozen sailing and yacht clubs across southern California—the Southern California Yachting Association Midwinters—took place February 15-16. California Yacht Club in Marina del Rey hosted the J/70s. The eight-boat fleet saw spirited racing at the top of the leaderboard from Jeff Janov’s NIMBUS from the host Cal YC and Ryan Cox’s DJ from Ventura YC. Janov’s NIMBUS got the better of their friends on Cox’s DJ, posting a 1-2-2-1 for 6 points total. DJ tallied a 3-1-1-2 for 7 points to garner the silver. Rounding out the podium was Curt Johnson’s AVET 2.01 who took the bronze on a tie-breaker with a 2-6-5-4 tally for 17 points. Completing the top five were Kim Kundrak’s JOY RIDE and Steve Wyman’s BOONDOGGLE. For more SCYA Midwinters information, visit https://calyachtclub.com/web/pages/regatta.
