Angleman yacht races begin March 16

The Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club will sponsor its 32nd annual Angleman

series of yacht races beginning Saturday, March 16. Subsequent races will

be held Saturdays, March 30, May 18, June 8 and July 13. Two of those races will be, for the first time, jointly conducted with the Balboa

Yacht Club’s 66 Series.

The race is open to all skippers belonging to a Southern California

Yachting Assn. Club or a recognized United States Sailing Assn. club.

The race is named for Hugh Angleman, a designer and builder of World

War II’s PT boats -- small, wooden crafts that carried enough firepower

to sink a battleship.

Trophies will be distributed after each race. The Hugh Anglemen Trophy

will be presented at a special awards banquet in the fall. For more

information or to request a race invitation, call the Bahia Corinthian

Yacht Club at (949) 644-9530.
