(Los Angeles, California)- California Yacht Club is pleased to welcome the J/70 Class for its inaugural J/70 Midwinter Championship West, to be sailed Friday through Sunday, April 1 - 3.  Late spring brings exciting sailing conditions to Santa Monica Bay, while the longer daylight hours insure a full afternoon of competitive sailing.

The regatta kicks off with a series of practice races on Friday afternoon, followed by a welcoming reception for all skippers and crew at the CYC Clubhouse.  Championship racing will be help Saturday and Sunday with the first start at 1200 each day and a total of seven races scheduled.  The weekend's hospitality will be a fitting complement to the on-the-water competition, with beer on the docks each day, a regatta dinner on Saturday and a reception preceding the awards presentation on Sunday.  Prizes will be awarded to the top finishers overall and in the Corinthian division.

We look forward to hosting this event for the region's fastest growing one design class! For any questions, please contact- Marylyn Hoenemeyer- Regatta Chair, J70 Midwinter Championship West- ph# 310.617.3870/ email- hoenemeyer@roadrunner.com
