Coming Up
Friday, July 3, is a holiday for a lot of folks. So the Express 27 fleet will be having their ocean race on that day, hosted by St. Francis YC.
We know of a trio of races on Fourth of July just on the Tiburon Peninsula alone: Corinthian YC’s Firecracker Regatta, San Francisco YC’s Independence Cup for club members, and Tiburon YC’s Brothers & Sisters Regatta (a race around those islands north of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge). A fourth is co-sponsored by Half Moon Bay YC and Elkhorn YC: it’s the revived Boreas Race, and it goes from Half Moon Bay to Moss Landing. See www.elkhornyc.com/racing.htm.
Some NorCal sailors will head head south and then west for the TransPac, Los Angeles to Honolulu, with starts beginning today (Monday) and running through July 5. We’d be interested in your photos and stories if you’d like to send them to us.
On July 11, the Island YC’s Silver Eagle Race takes off from Golden Gate YC for a grand tour of the Bay. A shorter course is now available for slower boats.
Happy sailing to you all!
