Nominations should be for a regatta in which you have or would personally race. For most of us, this leaves out the America's Cup
This could well morph into a bucket list, or better yet- a seasonal circuit.
Please supply the name, location, sponsor and why you think the race is top ten worthy.
My nomination is the Tri-Point Anacapa Ocean Race.
Starts off of Ventura Harbor, CA
34 NM course past oil platform Gina and Anacapa Island to starboard and then a screaming 16 NM beam to broad reach back to shore. It is possible to race the entire course and tack only once. Sea life abounds- we were tracked by a pod of dolphins this year.
Pierpont Bay Yacht Club has sponsored this race as a part of the Island Series for 13 years, and has welcomed beachcats since 2006. Your catamaran must be 18 feet in length or larger, some 16s allowed with prior permission. There are six classes of sailboats, and the beachcats start last (after the big multihulls). You will spend the entire race passing other boats.
