The September Racing Sheet Is Full of Winners
The current September Racing Sheet is full of winners — as usual. Do you know who won the C420 North Americans at Peninsula Youth Sailing Foundation? Or the Moore 24s in the High Sierra Regatta? The Belvedere Classic/Great San Francisco Schooner Race? The Santa Barbara to King Harbor Race? These and many more events are reported in the September issue of Latitude 38. Below are a few shots from the many stories of summer racing winners that appear in our September Racing Sheet.
The YRA Encinal Regatta sent everyone out the Gate before a long run back to Encinal Yacht Club on the Estuary, while the BAADS Herb Meyer Regatta was hosted off the South Beach Yacht Club in San Francisco.
The Viking was looking good in the above photo, while later in this regatta the Sea Scouts’ other whaleboat, Corsair, broke their rudder down near Blossom Rock. That story will appear in the October issue.
The SFYC crew of Looper went on to finish second in the Corinthian division of the Melges 24 Worlds hosted by San Francisco Yacht Club at the end of August. That story is coming up in our October edition.
Beyond race reports we recognize many winners in the Racing Sheet including Viggo Torbensen who won PHRF A in the Santa Barbara to King Harbor Race aboard his IMX 40 Timeshaver, Mark Cummings and Evelyn Chisholm who won the Fireball division (remember Fireballs?) in the CGRA Columbia Gorge One-Design (CGOD) that ran from July 26–26, Kim Desenberg/Chris Gibbs who won Spinnaker 4 in the YRA Encinal Regatta aboard the Wyliecat 39 Checkered Past, Bradley Schooch who won the Santana 22 class in the Stillwater Yacht Club Santarama Class Sails Series race on August 3, and Deb Fehr and Cam Campbell who won the Spinnaker Class in the Encinal Yacht Club Gracie & George Regatta on August 11 aboard the Santana 22 Meliki.
