San Diego Sailors

[Jim Ewing]

Hi,I'm going to be in San Diego in a few weeks for a conference. When I was there last year I saw one of the "Stars and Stripes" AC boats out for what looked like a tourist sail. Since I'm going to be there over a Sunday I thought I'd try to find out where I could arrange to go on a sail. I couldn't find anything on the web. Any locals out there know anything about getting a ride on the boat or who I might contact?Thanks,Jimh37.5 "Prospect"

You can try...

I've seen them out in the bay fairly often lately. A VERY impressive boat. You can try Dennis Conner Sports at (619)523-5131 and see what they say. I think they do have charters sometimes, not sure of costs, etc. I'm just afraid it would spoil me for my 340 ;.)

You can also try the North Sail..

loft in San Diego. I see him in there all the time and two of the employees crew for him and can probably give a contact if the one Miles gave doesnt work out.

Cha-CHING!

Thanks for the info. The boat is available for charter but it costs 5 grand for a half-day. A little out of my budget. Maybe after the lotto...Jimh37.5 "Prospect"

Yikes!

I was afraid of that. Maybe we can all pool our money and charter her for 15 minutes...
