Three F18 went out of ABYC in Long Beach today in preparation for our first fleet race of the season next weekend. We had flat water and 14-16 for an excellent shake down. Sailed across the area where the Worlds will be next year - out of the mouth of the bay and across the harbor to Queen's Gate for a very tight mark rounding, and a fantastic spinnaker run home. The Queen Mary, the Spruce Goose hangar, and the downtown skyline made for a gorgeous backdrop to the sunny day.

Good F18 fleet preregistered for the Southern California Yachting Association MidWinters - two day event with food for $20! w00000t!
