Dale Jepsen One Design Regatta

The Dale Jepsen One Design Regatta was held at the Bellingham Yacht Club on September 15th and 16th.  This was the third year that I have gone to this event and the third year that I have won the regatta. There were 20 boats in my fleet. Full results can be found here.

As always this event was a ton of fun. There was delicious food after sailing on both days. Unlike in the past the winds were light for both days of the event. In the past there has been one light day and one day with great wind. The race committee did a great job with the conditions that we were given, learning after the first day and making some changes for the second.

This year the rest of the Royal Vancouver team came down to Bellingham and this was awesome as it made that event way bigger than it would have be otherwise. The team brought the 12 boat trailer, it was almost full, and the everyone had a great time. The regatta organizers were really helpful and welcoming to everyone. The huge amount of supplied food was a hit with the whole team. I am looking forward to coming back next year and I think the team will be making it an annual event.
