All go for 2022 Long Beach Race Week

Benched for two years due to COVID-19 restrictions, Ullman Sails Long Beach Race Week returns to the west coast on June 24 to 26 in Long Beach, CA. The 2022 edition marks the 17th year Alamitos Bay Yacht Club (ABYC) and Long Beach Yacht Club (LBYC) co-hosting the event.

Over 100 boats are expected with seven windward-leeward races scheduled for PHRF and One-Design divisions, which include Schock 35 and Viper 640 racers vying for their Pacific Coast Championship titles, and Beneteau 36.7 sailors racking up scores for their High Point Series.

Plus, the Catalina 37 fleet will be racing for the National Championship title and there may still be boats available for charter. Check for details at www.lbrw.org.

For Random Leg classes, three races are slated with a variety of scenic course configurations and lengths around marks and landmarks in San Pedro Bay.
