Jan Anderson of Jan’s Marine Photography sent us these photos of the PSSC Small Boats Regatta. The event was hosted by Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle on October 7-8. (PSSC stands for Puget Sound Sailing Championship.)

Jan described the regatta: "There were plenty of one-design classes on the course, some with more boats and some with only one or two, but all with a strong racing spirit throughout the entire fleet. Sure, the conditions were OK (less spontaneous splash and dash, more forced introspection and mindfulness), yet the fleets had enough drive to generate several general recalls — never giving an inch."

The RS Aero fleet also had a dozen boats on the line.

The Star Boat remains a thing of grace and beauty, more than a century after the inception of the design.

Small Boats, of course, was followed up by PSSC Big Boats on October 14-15. We hope to bring you a sampling of photos from that regatta in a future post.

You never know. Remember years ago how cool it was when you bought a box of Cap’n Crunch and you’d reach in to find a plastic dinosaur or a fake tattoo?
