Nine I-14’s headed down to San Diego over the weekend for SuperCup held out of San Diego Yacht Club.   SuperCup is a great 14 skiff event held on the bay with short courses showcasing a mid course gate that you have to sail through both upwind and downwind.   All of the races were twice around with three minute starts and the race committee kept the boats rolling by sending off the starts quickly.

Solid crew work and positioning paid huge dividends as all of the boats found…

15 International 14’s came to Richmond Yacht Club for the biennial I-14 North American Championships.    Our Canadian friends to the North elected not to make the trip and focus their travel dollars for next years World Championships being held on the same Berkeley Circle race course in 2018 – which we certainly understand but they and their antics ;-) were certainly missed.    With the 15 skiffs that we did have the competition was very stacked with more than half the boats having at least…

Six California based 14’s headed to Santa Barbara last weekend for what has proven over the last few years to be a very light air (and sometimes no air) race course.    Santa Barbara is always beautiful and the hospitality of Santa Barbara Yacht Club is always strong and keeps getting better.  

This year the conditions proved to be different… same…

Hey, so I'm posting the survey results here.   I removed the last two questions and anything that appeared to have personal information in it to protect the not so innocent, all really good input.    Pretty interesting if you go through this in detail, a lot of things that we knew, but also some highlighted areas that are more important for the fleet to focus on as well.   I'll save my 'findings and analysis' for a further discussion, but if you want to look through the data - it is posted…
