The July 4th "Round the Island Race" was well attended. The young Sabot sailors were given a 15 minute head start and then all the other sailboats played catch up. Hundreds of spectators watched and cheered and encourged them. It was particularly exciting at the bridge. Most of the sailors flipped their boats sideways and pushed them under the bridge. Other adventurous mariners, walked their boats along the abuttment of the bridge. On the other side, they bailed and climbed back into their boats and completed the race home to the club.
Staff Commodore Scott Vandenberg (Age Unknown) won the adult division and Claire Whitney (Age 9) won the junior division. All of the sailors completed the race and met at the club for refreshments. Scott was skipper of a C-14 and his crew included his wife Lovita and their grandaughter Abrigal. Claire is the grandaughter of Jan and David Whitney. She lives in Thousand Oaks and just began sailing two weeks ago.
The next regatta is the Alice Robinson Memorial on Sunday July 25th. All club sailors are encouraged to participated.
