Blessed with fine fall weather, San Diego Yacht Club wrapped up the three-part Hot Rum Series on December 3.
The series drew 132 entries this year. Jim Madden’s Ranger 33 Raving Madness claimed the overall victory. See the results here.
Parts 1 and 2 were raced on November 5 and 19. Bob Betancourt took these photos of classic woodies on the first race day.
Seeing these lovelies reminds us that the Ancient Mariners Sailing Society will run the Half Pint of Rum Race tomorrow, for classic woodies only. The post-race party will be at the Koehler Kraft boatyard.
The legacy that Joshua Slocum left behind is unparalleled in the sailing universe, in both his feat as a mariner, and his lasting prose as a writer. 'Sailing Alone Around the World'Â continues to inspire sailors of all stripes.
There's still time! Time to buy yourself a new boat for Christmas, and time to list your current boat for sale in next month's Classy Classifieds — only if you want to, of course. There's nothing wrong with having more than one!
The Half Pint of Rum Race is one of the most unique and fun races on the planet. Cruising is great but I miss the State side fun stuff…
