2009 Red Bull Air Race World Championship in San Diego: May 9th & 10th, 2009

In close partnership with the city, the San Diego International Sports Council and the Port of San Diego, the Red Bull Air Race World Series will make its second stop of the 2009 season on Saturday, May 9th and Sunday, May 10th in San Diego and will race right downtown on the Big Bay against the beautiful backdrop of the city. This is the second time the race will be held in San Diego.

The Red Bull Air Race will take place over the bay between the Embarcadero Marina parks and Coronado on Saturday, May 9 and Sunday, May 10. There will be two main ticketed viewing areas - one each in Embarcadero Marina Park North and Embarcadero Marina Park South - with all necessary amenities and services.

OR, you can catch all of the action from the water on one of the HIYC club boats! Just give us a call to reserve your boat ahead of time - last year we rented just about every boat in the fleet for this event.

Additional details regading the races and ticketing information are available on the event website.

See you then!

3rd Annual HIYC Opening Day Sailing Regatta Scheduled for Sunday, April 5, 2009

Harbor Island Yacht Club in San Diego will be holding its 3rd Annual Opening Day Sailing Regatta for both members and guests on Sunday, April 5, 2009. For experienced sailors and novices alike, this opportunity to enjoy a day of sailboat racing on San Diego Bay is a truly unique experience not available in many places.

For this event, both members and non-members of Harbor Yacht Clubs may sign up as individuals, small groups of 2-5 people, or entire teams of 6 people. Each team for the regatta (aka sailboat race) will have a maximum of 6 members, so HIYC will be pairing up participants that sign up individually or in small groups. One of HIYC's friendly, experienced US Coast Guard licensed captains will be aboard each team's boat to coach them through the race. So whether or not you have sailing experience, you will be given the opportunity to participate as a crew member or simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the race on San Diego Bay!

Of course, if you are a sailor with prior racing experience, you may skipper your own boat. Just let HIYC know if you wish to do so when you register.
