Sausalito Midweek Escape to the Bay

Sausalito Yacht Club’s every-other-week Sunset Series began last night with classic, breezy Knox-racing-area conditions. Sailing on San Francisco Bay is never better, and it makes for an ideal excuse to disentangle from your devices and take an early ‘hump day’.

The J/88 Courageous heads toward Knox, west of Angel Island, and her first place in A Division.

If you want to attempt a ‘King of the Beer Cans’ challenge in 2017 by sailing five consecutive beer can races, Monday-Friday, the SYC series will take care of Tuesday. To make your plan of attack you can check out the full Bay Area Beer Can schedule here.

With 19 boats starting in three divisions there’s room for more, and there are certainly plenty of boats sitting in Sausalito marinas ready to go. See the results from Race #1 here.
