You save, you get a slip, you get a boat, you might do the Summer Wednesday Night Beer Can Races and a lot of family-style cruising around your neighborhood waters - then what. If you are looking to broaden your "backyard" and have a bit of an adventure, then what better race than the three-day, three-part, Long Point Race Week complete with 40 boats sailing to, from, and along Santa Catalina Island. Catalina Island is a manageable 22 miles south-southwest of Los Angeles and the perfect taste of, fairly safe, offshore racing - but you can commute home at night. Who would want to miss the hosted festivities ashore at Whites and Moonstone
