Southern California plus Arizona, Utah, and
Southern Nevada is designated Area J by US
SAILING which enables this area to send
representatives to the national championships.
For the ‘ladder’ events, Area J crews are
generally selected by a Harbor Area Regatta
(quarterfinals). The winner (plus sometimes the
second place competitor and occasionally some
selected by direct resumes) then race in the
Area Championship (semifinals). The winners
(plus occasionally the second place competitor)
represent Area J at the US SAILING
Championship.
For the ‘open’ events, US SAILING accepts
resumes directly from well-qualified
competitors.
US
SAILING designates the type of boats and selects
a yacht club to host the National
Championships. This information is post when
available on their web site a
http://www.ussailing.org/Championships/.
It is also listed in this
document when available, in the section for each
championship.
The
Area J Championships (semifinals) are held by a
yacht club selected by the US SAILING Area J
Chairman for that event. It is desirable, but
not required, that the boat used be the same as
the National boat. This information, when
available, is obtainable below by clicking the
name of the desired event or on trophy name in
the navigation block on the left. It is also
discussed at SCYA and YRUSC meetings and printed
in the SCYA Search Light publication.
The Harbor Area Championships (quarterfinals)
are held by a yacht club selected by the Harbor
Association and their information is usually
available on their web sites and discussed at
their Association meetings.
