20th edition of Long Beach Race Week

The 2025 Ullman Sails Long Beach Race week hosted 108 teams for racing in 11 divisions on June 20-22 in Long Beach, CA.

The Moore 24 Class used the event for their US National Championship, attracting 17 competitors for the 9-race series. Kurt Lahr and his team on Safety Third captured the title while also taking home the One Design Boat of the Week award. Rowan Fennell on Paramour placed second and won the Golison & Kent Family Trophy sailing with his wife and two daughters.

“It’s been a phenomenal regatta – I used to sail my I-14 here and it’s amazing to bring our little rocket ships down to a new area, you can’t ask for better champagne sailing than Long Beach,” says Lahr. “I’ve been in the fleet for 23 years and there’s a reason I’m still here. They’re my friends and at the same time they are all world class sailors. Conditions were super challenging; I can’t think of a regatta where I finished this mentally exhausted!” – Full report
