Richard and Stephen (Cal 20) tow Erik and Merrick (Wylie Wabbit) out to the starting area of the Berkeley Midwinters on Sunday, January 11. The Berkeley Circle had surprisingly nice breeze, enough for a pleasant twice-around windward-leeward course in a fading ebb. The upwind legs were mostly one-tack beats; the downwind legs were headstay reaches. See complete results from Saturday and Sunday on Jibeset. ©2026 norcalsailing.com

The Delta Ditch Run from Richmond to Stockton will sail on June 13. "There will be a great party with plenty of good food, live music, and fun at the finish line," say the race organizers. Richmond YC is planning a burrito breakfast to send racers on their way well fed. Register at http://www.regattanetwork.com/event/30871. You can reach the SSC organizers at ditch@stocktonsc.org. Some tips to beat the Delta heat: Reapply sunscreen often; bring a sunhat with chin strap or other means of securing it from wind; wear light colored, lightweight clothes; dress in layers; drink lots of water, more than you think you need; bring a bucket so you can dump water on your head; soak bandannas in water then put them in the cooler or icebox.
