The San Diego Yacht Club’s popular Hot Rum Series started with 133 entries. Starting and finishing just off the western end of Shelter Island, the fleet heads out through the Point Loma passage to two buoys offshore and return to the same start line to finish the race. In PHRF 4 class, Rick Goebel’s J/105 SANITY won class (garnering his second trophy for the day after placing second overall). For more San Diego YC Hot Rum Series information, visit
