ryc big daddy regatta

March 11, 2023

Richmond Yacht Club and various yacht racers persevered through rain squalls and calms to complete the Big Daddy Regatta on the weekend of March 11-12. As usual, Saturday featured three (attempted) drop-mark races on three racing areas, followed by dinner and dancing to the tunes of Shark Sandwich and Sunday's pursuit race. These photos were all taken by Stephen Buckingham in the rain on Saturday (thanks for risking your camera — and hypothermia — Stephen!). Click here for results from Saturday. Clockwise appeared to be the most popular direction for rounding Angel Island and Alcatraz on Sunday. Jasper Van Vliet on the J/24 Evil Octopus got to the finish first. See results from Sunday here.
