ILCA North Americans Bring International Dinghy Sailing to the Bay

The ILCA North Americans, being held on the Cityfront by the St. Francis Yacht Club (StFYC) this weekend, bring an international field of 125 sailors to, once again, compete on the Bay. The StFYC is hosting four days of racing, delayed for a year due to the global pandemic, but finally commencing yesterday. Sailors from all points of the continent, plus several nations, are in attendance and competing in ILCA 4 (formerly known as Laser 4.7), ILCA 6 (Laser Radial) and ILCA 7 (Laser Standard) rigs.

StFYC member, ILCA World Council President and Regatta Chair Tracy Usher is on the course competing alongside many other strong Bay Area contenders, including Caleb Yoslov of the San Francisco Yacht Club, currently in second place in ILCA 7 (Standard) rig. with fellow club member Nicholas Sessions not far behind in fourth. It will be a fun event to sail by (give them room!) or drive by this weekend. Or check them out on the St. Francis Yacht Club webcam.
