Encinal Yacht Club’s Jack Frost Series Kicks Off

On Nov. 1, Encinal Yacht Club kicked off their club’s midwinter series, set to continue throughout the late fall and winter. The series is known as the “Jack Frost Series.”

The fleets waited in postponement for the westerly breeze to fill past the Cityfront, where Golden Gate races in their own midwinter series were underway. Finally at 1300, 10-knot westerly winds made it to the East Bay and races were underway.

The Olson 25 fleet had tight racing between the two lead boats. Falkor (BYC) skipper Zack Parisa was first in race one and second in race two.

Steve Smith’s Synchronicity (RYC) finished within seconds to place second in race one, then pulled ahead in race two for first place. O’mar, with David Scott, kept a solid third in both races. Synchronicity won the day on tiebreaker by virtue of having the better finish in the last race.

The PHRF Spinnaker fleet was dominated by Good & Plenty (IYC), which was first in both races. Smokin’ (EYC) corrected out to second in both races.
