(San Francisco, CA)- The St Francis Yacht Club hosted the California
Dreamin' Match Race Regatta this weekend. Eight teams from across the
West Coast got wind in the low double digits, sun, and a fair bit of
tide. The St Francis YC Race Committee managed a full double round
robin, plus the championship round starting with quarter-finals and
ending with the top two teams in the finale- a good time was had by all!
The 2017 California Dreamin’ Series – match racing at San Diego YC, Long
Beach YC, and St. Francis YC – finished this past weekend at the St.
Francis under sunny skies and light winds that delayed the starts but
then filled in nicely, leading to action-packed, close matches.

In
the San Francisco finale, the third of the three regattas, it was two
St. Francis YC teams, Russ Silvestri and Nicole Breault that finished
first and second, with Russ winning all of his matches and Nicole losing
only to Russ. Third place went to Dave Hood of Long Beach YC.
The overall winner of the J/22 California Dreamin' Series was Long Beach
YC member Shane Young due to his second place finish at SDYC and his
victory at LBYC, the second stop.
