FUTURE MAJOR EVENTS


Ryan Terhaar at the 2021 Orange Bowl International Youth Regatta

By Ryan Terhaar | January 21, 2022

On December 24th my dad and I took a flight from San Diego, CA to Miami, FL for the 2021 Orange Bowl International Youth Regatta which took place over the winter break. I raced in the ILCA 4 (Laser 4.7) class. This was truly, an international regatta, with participants from 7 different countries. On Christmas day we rested because of the time change and jet lag. On December 26th, we went down to Coral Reef Yacht Club for registration, to meet up with coach Brett Davis at Shake a Leg park and pick up my chartered boat, then headed out for a little practice. Racing began on Dec 27th in light, shifty conditions where I had a great finish, with a 12th place in race #2. The wind was pretty light for the entire week. So much so, that the final day of racing was called off due to the lack of wind. I was extremely pleased with my boat speed in light air all week for an overall finish of 27th out of 56 boats. I would like to thank the San Diego Yacht Club Competition Fund for their support. I look forward to representing San Diego Yacht Club in future regattas.

Kousei Hatter at the 2021 Orange Bowl

By Kousei Hatter | January 12, 2022

In December I flew to Miami, FL to compete in the Opti Fleet at the Orange Bowl Regatta.  The host club was Coral Reef Yacht Club. My mom and I arrived early Saturday morning as we took a red eye from San Diego.  Our hotel room was not ready yet, so we took a nap in the warm morning in a cabana by the pool.  I was scheduled to do a clinic with the Lauderdale Yacht Club starting on Tuesday, so we had time to get over our jetlag, watch the Cressy Finals and get my charter boat.  The charter company was running behind, so we helped them by building dollies so we could get our boat and new sail. We were happy to be in Coral Gables with the nice weather and beautiful bay.

Nyenhuis Brothers Earn Bronze Medal at Youth Sailing World Championship

By Noah Nyenhuis | January 03, 2022

In December 2021, Ian and I had the chance to travel halfway around the world to a place we would never have thought we would travel to in order to participate in the Youth Sailing World Championships. The regatta was held in Mussanah, Oman in the Middle East and ran from December 11th to the 17th, 2021.

Our regatta started several days beforehand when we left our house to travel 36 hours to get to the venue. We drove to LAX and from there flew to Qatar, had an 8 hour layover and then flew on to Oman. It was quite confusing when we arrived due to the twelve hour time change and the fact that we had lost a day traveling. Luckily, we had a few days before the event to get used to the time change.

Kousei Hatter at the Opti Midwinters

By Kousei Hatter | December 14, 2021

This Thanksgiving break I traveled to New Orleans for the 2021 Allstate Sugarbowl Optimist Midwinter Championship. I landed in New Orleans on a warm day to a very flat landscape and the Gulf of Mexico in the distance. However, we would be racing on in front of Southern Yacht Club, which is on the southern shore of Lake Pontchartrain. When I arrived, the breeze was mild at about 7 knots and the water was brown. There was a long causeway (Bridge), about 25 miles in length that I could see to the west. As the sun was setting and I looked at the waves reflecting off the neighboring break wall, I became excited for upcoming days of Opti sailing.

Elroy Cup hosted by Sea Scouts BSA Ship 1886

By Erik Johnson & Robert Curry | November 12, 2021

Ship 1886 hosted the Elroy Cup on November 7, 2021, in the shallows off the southwest end of Shelter Island. The Elroy Cup is a qualifying event for the 2022 William I Koch International Sea Scout Cup scheduled for July in Galveston, Texas.

Sunday was a sunny San Diego day on the water beginning around 1100, when the first starting sequence began. The course was a windward – leeward, with the marks about 200 yards apart, and the start/finish line approximately in the middle. We raced 8 races, racers ate lunch in their boats with the series ending at 1430.

Nyenhuis Brothers Win Youth Champs in 29er Fleet

By Ian Nyenhuis | November 12, 2021

In the beginning of October, my brother, Noah, and I went to North Carolina to compete in the 2021 US Sailing Youth Champs. They were held in Camp Seagull, North Carolina. This event was one of our training events for the 2021 ISAF Youth Worlds that are happening later in December. 

On the first day, we were met with a solid breeze in the mid to high teens because of a low pressure system sitting just off the coast. We won the first two races by a large margin, which was a nice way to start the regatta. The third race of the first day, we let a boat get to the strong side of us and they got past us. There was not enough time to catch them. That last race of the first day, we won. That night a big storm came through causing lots of wind, rain, and lighting. We stayed in the open air cabins and the windows did not really close. My window's shutters were slamming open and closed all night long.
