Five boats came out in the face of a forecast for Westerly winds in the high 20’s and possibly low 30’s. The actual wind in the starting area (which was swirling around the buildings on shore) was generally Westerly, 8 – 13 kts with lulls to 4. A gust of 19 kts was noticed. The water in the lee of the shore was smooth for several hundred yards out from the beach. In the rest of the bay whitecaps had not yet formed, though many were visible outside.
Course SYGYCBF (6.69 nm.) was posted. A leg between Y & T would have made a better W/L but it was low tide. The pass by C allowed for shortening course if it got really nasty outside the bay.
After the start everyone held starboard tack to get out of the turbulent air near shore. Most reefs were shaken out after rounding Y. After rounding G, Cloud Splitter was going so fast on a reach they decided to take the great circle route to B. Martha had the cringle for the second reef on her main pull out, and retired. Pacifica was inconvenienced by altering course for a ferry that was running well behind schedule, but still saved her handicap. The weather outside the bay did not appear to have worsened so the race was not shortened. However, observing the pitching and extreme sudden heeling of mastheads rounding the corner, there must been some significant seas and a very gusty wind.
