Day 2 of SDYC’s Yachting Cup started with a bit of rain and overcast coastal skies. The race management team was concerned about the forecast conditions – specifically the sea state, which built as a result of an overnight offshore front. A race committee boat went out about 7:30am to check the conditions on both ocean courses; the decision was made to postpone racing by one hour, and to move both courses to more protected areas closer to shore. Peter Wagner’s Skeleton Key continued their hold on the top spot in the J/111 fleet after winning 3 of 5 races, taking top honors in the class for the second year in a row. Skeleton Key is also the current J/111 North American champion after their win in January in Key West. Several of the J/111s racing this weekend in San Diego (Creative and G u r l i) will be shifting gears into offshore mode to prepare to race to Hawaii this summer in the Transpac Race.
