The Long Beach Match Racing Team will be starting the match
racing season promptly by sailing in the Calfornia Dreamin' Series Jan
10th-12th. The team will divide into two smaller teams to complete in the 3 man
J-22 type sailboats supplied by San Diego Yacht Club. We decided it would be
beneficial to fund two teams in order to maximize our team communication and
strengthen overall awareness of key fundamentals. The other team entry will be
skippered by Main trimmer and tactician Shane Young. Accompanying him will be
match racing veteran Steve Flam. This weekend should be an exciting and
valuable training experience as the Congressional Cup quickly approaches.
The LBMR team has been gearing up to commence training by
using two identical match race boat supplied by Long Beach Yacht Club. We will
also be doing training against Scotty Dickson and Steve Flam as we get closer
to the regatta. Our goal is to have our Congressional Cup team sorted out by
Butler Cup early March. We will then practice on the upcoming weeks in Catalina
37's used in the regatta. This should give us a significant advantage from the
other teams.
We are looking forward to the build up of the 50th
Anniversary Congressional Cup and think that this process will allow out team
to perform at the highest level.
