The class association continues to do great stuff: new ILCA 4 sail just came out, new ILCA 6 sail is under development. For both, they’ve done lots of sail testing to ensure the shape is just right. Our own D24 alum Andrew Holdsworth has been working on a global database of all major parts along with a QR code scanner. 

All this work costs money — so please support it. $45 per year. 

Best regards,

Guys,

Website is live, hope you guys sign up?

Should be a great day racing on Monterey Bay.

We have a few good juniors who will be coming out.

Sadly, I won't be able to make it to Monterey this year :(

FYI, if anyone is interested in some fun sailing "on the way", at Santa Cruz YC we are hosting our monthly summer Friday night dinghy racing that Friday, July 17. You can sign up for that here: https://scyc.org/regatta/KvXi6UIm7P

Let me know if you have any questions about the Friday night racing!

Will anyone from Santa Cruz be going?

I want to get a bailer that I owe to the SCYC junior program to them.

Thanks Chris! I'm not sure if anyone is going from Santa Cruz--if so, we can coordinate. I think we also still have Schmitty's top cover in Santa Cruz (if there is a hand-off of gear).

Laird

[Stephen Aguilar]

I will sail at santa Cruz.

I’ve just registered for ILCA 6!  MPYC Club ILCA Championship is always one of my most favorite regattas :)

I hope many more people can join - especially in ILCA 6😉

Thanks,

Toshi

Toshi,

Of course it is one of your favorite regattas, this is one of the Laser photos I keep on my phone when people ask me about what kind of “yacht” I sail:

The difference between the amount of work you are doing vs Tracy is pretty stark.

Have fun.

Boomer

[Tracy Usher]

I think I am a factor of 2 (at least) more massive than Toshi so am impervious to waves.

Thank you very much, Boomer, Tracy. It is certainly a very memorable photo for me. It was an epic day in Monterey Bay! 

Just in case, that was a rather unusual day in Monterey. Most of the time, the sailing conditions are more gentle and pleasant, with 8–12 knots of breeze. We would love to see more people join this regatta!

Thanks,

Toshi

[Chris Boome]

I am racing in a 1957 ft wooden yawl that day.

Chris

[Bill Symes]

That’s a long yawl Boomer.

Oops 42 ft built in 1957 racing in Big Boat with Rick Leland (former Laser guy)

[david lapier]

I plan on going, and will race 6 with Toshi.   If you want to see the natural world on the ocean, this is the best event.

Fairwyn, along with Rick and Gayle, has graced some of the finer ports in the world including...Marina Nayarit in 2025.  

I was launching my ILCA on the La Cruz ramp and hear a "Hey Walt" from the top of the ramp. I turn around and there is Rick!

[Chris Boome]

Sorry all  I didn’t mean to bring Fsirwyn into this but looking forward to sailing with Tivk.

[Chris Cooke]

Just signed up for the 6 - looking forward to sailing with you David and Toshi!
