(San Francisco, CA)- San Diego YC hosted the first stop of the 2017
California Dreamin' Series on January 7-8 in light and shifty conditions
on the city-front course. On Saturday, they managed to complete 5
flights out of the 7 scheduled for the first round-robin. Nicole
Breault of St. Francis YC and her Vela Racing Team of Molly Carapiet,
Karen Loutzenheiser, and Hannah Burroughs went undefeated, persevering
with patience and emphasizing on keeping the boat moving through the
light stuff. On Sunday, the winds never produced enough to race and
therefore Breault won the regatta.Background
