Question: is Arizona Birthday Regatta racing on Friday as well as Sat-Sun? Is Friday gonna count? I have to work Friday, but can have "my people" race if needed.

I'm pretty sure it is three days for the AZYC Birthday Regatta. This year, however, I'm not running it. I'll find out for sure tomorrow at the lake.

Let me know if anyone wants to wet-sail their boats. I will set this up again if you want. And how can we improve upon dockage from last year?

Looking forward to a new year,

The San Francisco event will likely be hosted by South Beach Yacht club as part of their IRC/J120 invitational Aug 17-19.

They've asked me to find out just how many Vipers may attend?

This venue is actually IN my marina so it's likely that I can host quite a few folks abort boats that I own. Hell, I can sleep 10 on the Santa Cruz 50 alone....dorm room style.

The sailing area will be largely South of the Bay Bridge so it'll be windy...20-25+ but relatively flat water. It's a hugely fun area to sail adjacent to the Americas Cup operations compound.

It's likely that Sunday will have some sort of Bay Tour out into the Slot, but that's still up in the air.

So what say yee....will you come?

Jim Sears · November 08, 2011, 12:27:19 PM

Sure, twist my arm... we'll be there

Jeff Jones · November 08, 2011, 12:36:41 PM

I'd like to sail that event with a local boat if we dont have conflict.

JJ, you are always welcome to come sail my boat! I can work RC. Be good for the girl to get a win under her belt :-)

Tim Carter · November 10, 2011, 10:58:30 PM

Mummmmm, sure why not... ;)

I can think of several more down this way, but I will let them speak for themselves. Did they give you any idea of a minimal # they will allow? 7...10?

I told them likely to have no more than 10 boats but I'd be please to be wrong on that one and have 12-15.

The date is still floating and if it doesn't happen in Aug, that won't work for the schedule.. It'll be back to the drawing board with perhaps the Jazz Cup distance race popping back into view.
