A Snapshot of San Diego YC’s Hot Rum Series #1
Saturday, November 9, saw the first in a series of three races that make up San Diego Yacht Club’s Hot Rum series. Sailor/photographer Bob Betancourt was on the water to capture the action. And he did so in great photographic style.
“It was the downwind leg,” Bob tells us. “If I remember correctly it was about 10 to 15 knots. The weather was great for some good racing.”
All photos by Bob Betancourt.
“Hot Rum regatta is usually one of my favorites, with all the colorful spinnakers,” Bob adds.
We hope you enjoy these photos as much as we did!
The first three boats across the finish line (in order of first, second, third) were Jim Madden’s J/100 Stark Raving Mad, Jim Dorsey’s J/105 J-Aquatic, and and Mike Hatch aboard the J/105 J Almighty.
See the full results here.
The next racing in the series is this weekend, Saturday, November 23.
Great pics! Thanks for sharing!
