Saturday: A Brisk Day of Sailing on San Francisco Bay

By John Arndt | March 15, 2021 | San Francisco Bay |

Saturday was a brisk, breezy day for sailing, and we were lucky enough to spend the afternoon sailing with Nick Raggio aboard his beautifully maintained, light-blue S&S 47 Alpha. We’ll bring you more on this boat later, but while out sailing, we caught some shots of others out blasting through the Bay on a spectacular afternoon.

Small boat — It was breezy, but that didn’t deter this small boat from wisely reefing down and heading out.

We may have been complaining about the drought, but the flip side is that it’s been a great winter for sailing. So while on Sunday we got some of the rain we’ve been hoping for, if you made it out for a sail on Saturday, you once again saw the Bay at its best.
