The “Wednesday Night Sailing Series” has many different
meanings for San Diego locals, but the plot is similar in cities across America – take a
midweek office break and get on the water with friends. For some, it might be
their only breath of fresh air as they trade life in a cubicle for a few hours
on the water and find the return of hope that the week will indeed end well.
For others it is a chance to excel as a team and follow a culture more similar
to grand prix racing, even if it is simply dressing alike in show of team
spirit. For Grand Prix style boats, it is about getting the wife and kids out
to relax as a family between pro events. In keeping with the original intention
of the evening, Star sailor Will Stout, of San Diego, bought his boat UNO for one dollar and said his, “priority is to kick back
with close friends and keeping the BBQ rolling through every leg of the course.“
