Attention Montgomery skippers! The Potter Yachters, California’s largest trailer sailor club, invites you to join their 26th annual Monterey Cruiser Challenge set for Aug 1-3. To date, 16 boats have signed up including 2 M15s and my S17, with more expected. Registration is FREE. The race is set for Saturday, Aug. 2. Rules are casual, and participants will range from seasoned race veterans to novices. Conditions on the water can be challenging. Some of us will launch at Moss Landing and sail into Monterey on Friday Aug. 1, returning on Sunday Aug. 3. This 14nm passage takes 3-4 hours and is suitable for intermediate and advanced sailors accustomed to ocean conditions. The other option is to launch in Monterey. The registration form, additional information, and a tab for questions are linked below. Slips in Monterey could be limited subject to the harbor master’s determination, so sign up early to guarantee dock space. Directions, parking info, etc. will be posted in June, so stay tuned.
