BYC Midwinters Like Night and Day

Berkeley Yacht Club runs midwinter series on the second Saturday and Sunday of each month, November-February. Generally speaking, the Saturdays have enjoyed moderate breeze with the Sundays light and fluky, necessitating the shortening of course for three Sundays in a row. The streak was broken yesterday, when a low-pressure system cooked up winds into the 30s. It was like sailing in squalls without the rain.

The BYC Midwinters will conclude with a bonus round: the Winners Race, on February 25. We’ll have more on this and other midwinters from the weekend in Racing Sheet in the March issue of Latitude 38.
