CATHI'S PRIVATE CRUISE TO CATALINA

Many around the School refer to Cathi as the "Cookie Lady". She always brings her home baked world finest cookies. This month she chartered yatch Zeus and our Director Paul (Captain Cookie) for a private trip to Catalina with her father, Bill and friend Karsten. They had a super trip to the Island on the weekend just before Memorial Day and found as Paul suspected a near empty Island with a choice of moorings.

View of Zeus from Olympus

Zeus has run in 34 Ensenada races! CSA student Myrna got into the act by chartering a helicopter and tracking down Zeus 15 miles off Dana Point. Some spectacular photos resulted! Our mid-pack finish that year may not have been memorable, but the other boats are still probably wondering why we had our own airial escort!

2006 We have selected most of the student crew for this years race to Ensenada. They all have been excellent students and sailors. We look forward to a fun and successful 35th year.Photo by Myma

 

Dear Paul,


Thanks so much for your guidance through both the Sailing 1 & 2 Classes. Our last journey to Redondo Beach on Zeus was a spectacular experience!

I think i speak for Duc, Andrea & myself in that we are hooked.

Still got the taste of the fresh apple pie you cooked aboard. Duc, Andrea & I have yet to take our tests & log our on-the-water hours.....such busy lives; and all we want to do is sail! . Here's a shot that Jeannie took of our happy crew:

Look mom no instructor !

Baltic Sacks Sparta!

CSA student Dylan recently entered his Baltic '42 in its debut race - the Fletcher Memorial race from Catalina to Palos Verde point. In light air upwind, boats dropped out of the race throughout the day. In the end Dylan's Papalagi and local racing regular Sparta (a 1-design 48) sprinted for the finish.
Sparta crossed 6 minutes ahead, but owed Dylan 20+ minutes correction! Dylan and his crew Myrna were thrilled with the win.
