J/120 and Express 37 Regatta

June 6, 2010

San Francisco Yacht Club hosted a regatta for the J/120 fleet and the Express 37 fleet this weekend. Five Express 37s and six J/120s signed up. They raced around drop marks in the vicinity of the Berkeley Circle. They had three races on Saturday, in winds up to 25 knots, and two on Sunday, in more moderate wind, mostly about 15 knots.
