Here is the blow by blow for those who missed the WINDY one!
Our pathetic little fleet made it to the "Olympic Circle" on Saturday only to discover that SFYC must not come to the East Bay very much as they seemed to be a little lost and setup against the Berkeley Pier, well to the south of the Circle. We were caught napping at X and almost missed the start in beautiful #1 conditions.

Hi all,

Sailing Instructions are now posted at the SCYC website.

Wow, Big breeze and Big waves and we did not even need to go to the Columbia River!

After a long postponement on shore waiting for wind, we did get on the water at last when a NW filled in. With a 4 knot ebb to kick the waves we all had plenty on. Big jibs for the first beat of the first race then most went to the #3 for the balance of the racing. Getting out to the middle of the bay on the beats and surviving the runs seemed to the plan for the weekend.

The regatta was a big hit with the sail makers as flogging, ragging and shrimping were the order.

The correct dates for the 2012 Commodore's Cup at Huntington Lake are June 30-July 1.

The Schedule link has been updated.

A Bit Early

Results are preliminary and there is an ominous statement in there about the over early boats having not been bashed yet so, pending other developments, we are still raging and someone has to take the recycling out as we can’t fit another Champaign bottle in there!

Wow what a day, what a fast race, what a huge lead from 89, what a great fleet with 30 starters… yeah that’s what I’m talking about. Well done to the seldom seen boats and hope you go home and spread the Moore magic around.

Three Bridge Shout Out!

21 miles of course usually works out to about 40 miles over the bottom and likely only a few feet between us at the end of the long day. Always hard to sit there going around and around in the eddy off Angel Island or fighting in the relief at Red Rock thinking that you will never escape the gyre but if you stick with it and are on a Moore you have a great chance of winning this Fiasco. Can’t wait to see all of you bright and early Saturday off the City front for our kick off. Weather looks good and breeze is NE in the forecast right now so anything can happen…
