50th San Diego to Ensenada Race

CF Koehler of the San Diego YC hits the starting line in front of two competitors with his classic Abedking & Rasmussen 10 Meter Sally, a boat that is much older than the Little Ensenada Race. The is usually a great one, with a beat out to the Coronado Islands and spinnaker reach down the coast. But this year there was even less wind than during the race to Ensenada, so fighting the current to try to get around the islands became an exercise in futility.
 

San Diego sailors are accustomed to light air, the best wind was at the start...
