ILCA Sunshine Open Results

Although there wasn’t much sunshine or breeze for SSA’s annual spring invitational, sponsored by ILCA Fleet 10 and US ONE- DESIGN, the smiling faces of 40 competitors made for a great weekend! Special thanks to the excellent RC work by Joe Friebele, Gary Jones and all of the volunteers at SSA. 

On the first day we managed 2 races in a northerly 3-4 knot breeze. Back on shore sailors enjoyed the fire pit and great eats from Botanas Fajardo. The sun even came out for a brief moment!

Thankfully, we had a little more breeze on Sunday and got in another two races to wrap up the event.

2nd, James Jacob

Apprentice Masters – Now Ages 30-44

Promo bumper sticker from ILCA North America (circa 2000).
Rumor has it that an updated bumper sticker is coming soon!

In the near future the ILCA will be formerly announcing an expansion of the Apprentice Masters age group to 30-44 years of age (from 35-44). This will be effective beginning at the 2022 ILCA Masters World Championships in Nuevo Vallarta Mexico (ILCA 7: 5/30 – 6/7/2022 & ILCA 6: 6/9 – 17/2022 – more details online.

The ILCA World Council recently approved this change with the intent to “broaden the tent” by providing the opportunity for more adult sailors to compete in our Masters World championships.
