Barcott Wednesday Beercans in Full Swing
Ed Barcott signals that PACEMAKER is #1, and in a recent race it certainly was. Sailboat racing comes in all shapes and sizes. For some folks only Windward/Leeward courses, mark boats and a scored series will do. For others, the camaraderie of deciding the course with Rob at the picnic table followed by a casual evening wandering around the Bay with friends, making the boat go faster and your life go slower, is exactly the right mixture. The big change for this year is that the picnic table is now across the street from the yard office near [...]
Spring White-cap Series 2015 – Race 2
Nobody sailing around here can say the wind is predictable, especially this time of the year. Friday was even stranger than usual. At noon it was blowing 25 – 30 mph from the South, but by the time for setting up a race course it had dropped to where there were patches of wind to 5 kts. but the direction was constantly changing from SE to NW and points between. After a long while spent trying to discern a trend, the course was set for SYTF (which turned out to be a good guess for the eventual start). Fifteen minutes [...]
Fall Nightcap Series Starts Sunday, September 14th
Here we go again, last series of the year, The Fall Nightcap Series, starts Sunday at 12 o'clock noon. This Sunday will be a boat start, somewhere on the Bay. Head out of the marina, look for the committee boat and the pin, go there, have fun. The days are getting shorter. Better have some fun on the water while you can.

Ever wonder what you look like crossing the finish line?
During this years Summer Cat's Paw series I was on the city dock helping David Burroughs with race committee duty, and set up my camera to do videos of the finishes. Sure wished the wind was better, as these videos would have been a bit more interesting, but here is the links to five short videos of the fleet finishing. Turn up the sound and you will hear the chatter on the dock and the finish horn. Enjoy! Satch
Racing Friday and Saturday
Cats Paw race on Friday at 6:00 p.m. Wooden Boat Series race on Saturday at noon. Sounds like fun.
