Team MBYC News and Upcoming Events

The MBYC Frosty Friday FJ Scrimmage #2: "Family Style" was a bright end to the week and we saw loads of fun kid/parent teams out racing into the sunset. 9 teams sailed 4 races with our very own Chris and Porter winning the afternoon:) -Results-

SDAYC Sabot Winter Circuit #2 @ SWYC

Team MBYC loaded up trailers and headed over to SWYC for the second Sabot race day of the new series, the SDAYC Winter Circuit: an effort by the San Diego area Junior Program Directors to provide fun, competitive racing through the Winter months all close to home. MBYC brought 12 sailors all racing in C fleets. Conditions were extremely tricky with the breeze filling in and shutting off repeatedly. Truth be told, our sailors enjoyed the glass-off coach boat raft-ups in between the few races that RC managed to pull off as much as the racing itself:) With only two actual races at the end of the day, MBYC was looking hot with top 3 finishers in all the C fleets: Kai 2nd in C1, Samantha 1st in C2 with Sean tied for 1st and Christopher in 3rd in C3. Note: While this race day does count in the overall series standings, per INSA Rules, it does not qualify as a move-up eligible day. Results aside, we are always happy for the experience and look forward to Sabot WC #3, January 30th at CYC. - Results -

SDAYC C420 Winter Circuit #1 @ SDYC

Meanwhile our A/B fleeters and others who've graduated from Sabots, had their focus on the SDAYC C420 Winter Circuit #1, the first of four C420 race days in the series. The Team took Saturday to prepare their boats, do some on-the-water training and load the trailers.

MBYC sent 5 boats to the event including some seasoned teams, while others were trying out fresh pairings and looking to continue gaining experience as they are newer on the C420 scene. Oakley/Carter, Shane/Preston, Owen/Allie, Alex/Sarah and Paige/Carlin placed 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th and 9th respectively in the 10 boat fleet. We're really excited to continue training with these kids and see a promising future in each of them. We plan to add a few more boats for the next in the series, Jan 31st at CYC.

Coming up next...
