BMW Oracle's Wing, Sailing in San Diego Bay

The season is over, the boats are (mostly) put away for the winter, but we do have the America's Cup to look forward to. And the solid wing on BOR's trimaran is a truly revolutionary piece of technology.

Corinthians Wrap Up the 2009 Season

In the last Corinthian race of the summer on Sunday Sept. 13, nine sailors patiently waited for a ten-knot breeze to fill in from the Northwest for a great finish for the season. The racers enjoyed a post-race cookout and awards ceremony at the Dickinson's. Vaporize and Moriah took the spinnaker and non-spinnaker divisions, respectively, in Sunday's race. For the season, in the spinnaker division, Cut Loose was first, followed by Vaporize and JaKo; and in the non-spinnaker fleet Moriah finished first, followed by Happy Days and Em Jay. Congratulations to the winners! Complete results available as always on LakeGeorgeRacing.com

Final Corinthian Race and Awards BBQ on Sunday

The Corinthians will host their fifth and final race on Sunday, Sept. 13. The race will follow the usual format with a 12:30 pm start; racers will take their own time at the finish and report it to Nate Dickinson at 796-4907 or on Channel 66 immediately following the race. There will be awards for the season at the after-race cook-out at the Dickinsons' place on Rockhurst. If you come by boat, anchor and we will bring you in. By car, turn at the Cleverdale store, go North on the Cleverdale Rd. about a half mile, right on Rockhurst Rd., then take the first left out to the point. Go under the arch at the end and it's the first place on the left. If you have not already done so, please contact Nate with your steak reservation as soon as possible.
