The Yacht Racing Association has renamed their Season Closer the Corinthian Regatta. CYC provides the race committee. Saturday's 18-mile race dipped out into the Pacific Ocean with a rounding of the Point Bonita buoy. Sunday's race was shorter and stayed within San Francisco Bay.

These photos were taken from the Golden Gate Bridge as the boats were short-tacking against a flood current to exit the Bay. Enjoy.
