good point...!!!
I prefer beach camping over any hotel..although if I crewed on another guys boat and spent 2 or 3 days sailing I might consider towing my trailer to camp in for 2 nights.

I bought my Prindle 19MX specifically so that I could enter these three races. I think a Summer Beachcat Series is an awesome idea. The details of trophies, rankings, etc would have to be handled by the beachcat class itself rather than one of the two clubs. Are there enough boats that would make all three races? Making this a series might increase numbers but there was only one boat that did both Milt Ingram and Tri Point.

I think a Summer Beachcat Series is feasible and doable. I believe it could be handled by the Ventura Sailing Club working hand-in-hand with Anacapa Yacht Club and Pierpont Bay Yacht Club. I think we can come up with an equitable rating system that most cat sailors can agree upon and make the multihull fleet, including the ORCA boats, a more active and visible "partner" in the race series, which hopefully will continue to grow in number as word of our fantastic racing venue and race organization gets around.

Mission Bay Yacht Club has a larger cat fleet in San Diego, mostly Nacra/Inter20 and F18s...there's a few Prindle's that don't really race regularly but if they got a few more boats they might consider making a class. For those in the San Diego area that's a good option. They host regular short course bay cat races but also a few regattas incl. 5 open ocean regattas. My understanding is those are open to non-members. For this year they are done with open ocean races.
