City Honors Sailors With Panel-Cut Sail on the Road
Sometimes you just can’t get sailing off your mind. While walking across the street the other day, we noticed the town had used the design for a cross-cut sail to help direct traffic patterns.
Though it would be illegal, racers driving to the Corinthian Yacht Club for this coming weekend’s midwinters might drive right over this cross-cut sail design as they drop crew and look for parking. The weekend forecast is sunny, making it a perfect weekend for racing.
We’ve been posting stories about public art that supports sailing, such as the DeWitt mural in Richmond and the sculpture at Emery Cove Yacht Harbor. Sailing happens too far away from those stranded on land for them to appreciate the magic of what happens on the Bay or ocean. If you know of some sailing public art, send a photo and description to [email protected]. We have a story coming up on the mural recently done on the wall of the offices of Farallon Electronics in San Rafael.
This photo reminds us of the Beatles’ Abbey Road photo. We just need a few sailors on deck. Anyone …? – Ed.
