The recent Region 8 Championship featured excellent competition and drew a large community of traveling sailors from around the country. Let's break down the leaderboard, the performances of those in attendance, and which boat models sailed to success. Despite shifty wind conditions, the competition was well attended and well-documented by AMYA's Vice President, and the man behind Shakey Cam Productions, Dan Shier. We'll chat with him about the value of model yachting 'game tape' for improving tuning, the workflow for making these videos, and the importance of establishing more ponds across the country. Find out more about Dan Shier's new DF95 marketplace at www.OlympiaModelSailors.com.For more San Diego Argonauts events, opportunities, and fun — check out our website.

February is underway with a full slate of races on the calendar! Time to review the recent Traveler series in Arizona that many San Diego Argonaut sailors attended. We'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at this week's Region 8 IOM Championship with race chairman and competitor Gil Gansky. The Championship takes place February 20th, 21st, and 22nd, but Gil and his team have been working hard on the event for months. Tune in for a look at Gil's regatta planning strategy, secrets to success on race day, and how Gil's background sailing the shores of Lake Michigan led him to model yachting with us in San Diego.Throughout today's episode, we highlight how appreciated and valuable our club volunteers are in ensuring the club runs smoothly. Volunteers keep events on the calendar and draw sailors from all over the world to our club for the great events we host. If you want to get more involved in the club outside of points races, Len Bose has an opportunity for DF95 owners at an upcoming demonstration day.For more San Diego Argonauts events, opportunities, and fun — check out our website.
