Breault Trumps J/22 California Dreamin’ Series I

J/22s sailing off San Diego CA(San Francisco, CA)- San Diego YC hosted the first stop of the 2017 California Dreamin' Series on January 7-8 in light and shifty conditions on the city-front course.  On Saturday, they managed to complete 5 flights out of the 7 scheduled for the first round-robin.  Nicole Breault of St. Francis YC and her Vela Racing Team of Molly Carapiet, Karen Loutzenheiser, and Hannah Burroughs went undefeated, persevering with patience and emphasizing on keeping the boat moving through the light stuff.  On Sunday, the winds never produced enough to race and therefore Breault won the regatta.
