Dana Point teen makes Transpac history

Seventeen-year-old Oliver Ernest just became the youngest skipper ever to win his division in the legendary Transpacific Yacht Race, sailing 2,225 miles from LA to Hawaii with his Dana West Yacht Club crew. For locals, this is huge—two Dana Point boats competed, and both finished strong. Ernest’s win is even more impressive considering he’s been sailing since childhood, learning from his dad and now dreaming of the Olympics. The camaraderie, ocean beauty, and support from the community made this a race to remember. How do you think this will inspire the next generation of sailors in Dana Point? #Sports #DanaPoint #Transpac
