SI #810 - SDYC Head Coach Jon Rogers (USA) on the DF95 and radio-control racing
SAILING ILLUSTRATED #810 (Fri 21 Feb 2025) - Long-time friend and super sailor/coach Jon Rogers (USA, San Diego YC) is our guest, live via Skype, to update on the growth, and fun, of radio-control racing in general, and the DF95 (aka DragonFlite) Class in particular. Jon has an extensive and impressive racing resumé including winning the J24 and Snipe Worlds multiple times. Jon is currently Head Coach at San Diego Yacht Club. At the age of 13, his nickname was "Barnacle" - hard to get him away from sailboats. No doubt some discussion on high school and collegiate sailing as well. Join host Tom Ehman (USA), Co-Host Julia Wedekind (USA) and the FOSI* for our live video podcast that airs on Facebook (fb.com/sailingillustratedblog) and the Sailing Illustrated TV YouTube channel every Tuesday and Friday at 1300 Pacific / 2100 UTC, or watch a replay on-demand later.
