Southern California Yachting Association Organized 1921 Dear Racers: 2012 is the 83rd year that the Southern California Yachting Association has sponsored the Midwinter Regatta. This event is the largest and most unique regatta held anywhere in North America. This Regatta will be held at 27 individual SCYA Clubs from Santa Barbara south to San Diego, and east to Arizona. A multitude of volunteers makes it possible for hundreds of boats with crew numbering in the thousands to participate. The over 100 classes participating in the 2012 Midwinter Regatta include one-design, PHRF, cruisers, multi-hull, dinghies (with both inshore and offshore venues), model boats and predicted log. These numbers and the rich diversity of classes make the Midwinter Regatta a truly special racing experience. This Regatta allows individual Yacht Clubs to feature specific races and to give the sailors from their area the opportunity to race in a combined, quality regional regatta against the best sailors in Southern California and beyond. The goal for the 2012 SCYA Midwinter Regatta Committee is to provide a high level of competition and quality racing for sailors throughout Southern California and Arizona. We plan to make the Midwinter Regatta a truly memorable “kick off” to the 2012 racing season. Net proceeds from this event help support the work of SCYA in serving the Southern California and Arizona yachting communities. SCYA’s activities include publishing the annual Race Calendar & Yacht Club Directory, sponsoring semi- nars, presenting honor awards, providing a Service Center to assist all our member clubs, and much more. Please visit our website (www.scya.org) for further details. Enjoy the camaraderie, great racing, and fun with the SCYA Midwinter Regatta host yacht club in your area.
