Aventura
has a year-round club racing program that allows you to participate
in non-spinnaker round-the-marks races on winter Saturday afternoons
and on summer Friday evenings. We host about 22 races per year!
FRIDAY RACING EVERY FRIDAY
You can race EVERY Friday night!
Aventura is sponsoring harbor racing, through
Dana Point Harbor Racing Assoc., and holds a race EVERY Friday.
Anyone, whether a member of Aventura or not, can enter a boat into
these races.
For the Aventura boats that go out, each race is a $5.00 fee to
enter. Other boats whose skippers are not members of Aventura, will
pay $7.50 per race entry fee. Notice of Race and entry classes are
on the table at the entrance to the lounge.
FOR THE AVENTURA RACE PROGRAM, those who are part of that group
will race as always with exactly the same organization to determine
skippers, boats, and crew,and will be held as noted in the Newsletter
calendar. The Aventura Program events continue every-other-week,
and race in the TGIF Friday races. Your finish positions will be
eligible to trophy in the overall race and also your scoring amongst
the Aventura assigned boats will be added to your positions in the
Aventura Race Program points standing. You may bring guests who
are not members to join you for these races. If you are an Aventura
member, you can do one of the following.
1. Come every other Friday for the Aventura Race Program
2. Charter a boat and find your own crew
for the alternate weeks 3. Alternate with the Aventura Program weeks
and chartering a boat for other weeks.
4. Find a race crew to join and go on another
boat entering the race.
5. Just show up, and I will put together
a boat of all those who just show up and give you a key. One qualified
person will accept the skipper position, and the boat will be charged
to that member. The other crew will square away financially with
that skipper for the charter fee and the race entry fee.
Meet in the Aventura Lounge by 4:30 pm.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING HOW THIS WORKS, Call Annett
Cook: (949) 632-9565, or E-MAIL CaptainCookRN@cs.com.

Every October, there's the Aventura Cup!
Members put together teams to compete for the Cup in a one-day,
two-race regatta. In this unique event, the winning team in the
first race sails the second race in the boat that finished last
in the first race; second-place team sails second-last boat and
so on. Talk about a great test of sailing! Total scores for both
races decide the Cup championship, and the winning team gets individual
take-home trophies at the big post-regatta barbecue that night!

Aventura's
race program, 18 years old now, feeds sailors into other races around
the harbor and throughout the West. Members have chartered Aventura
boats for the Newport to Ensenada race, and members have gone on
to sail on boats in the Puerto Vallarta race and the Transpac race
from Los Angeles to Honolulu, among others. And many members have
gone on to buy their own boats and sail races throughout Dana Point
and all of the West Coast.
