Somewhere in the photo below is a Folkboat International champion — we just don’t know who it is yet.

Smiles and a friendly wave start the Folkboat festivities.

The San Francisco Bay Folkboat International Regatta starts today at the Corinthian Yacht Club in Tiburon with sailors here from Denmark, England, Germany, Sweden and the US. They’re racing all week; by Friday one of these Folkboat folks will be a winner! Learn more at www.sfbayfolkboats.org/2017-international-regatta.

A portion of the 82 entries in the Opti PCCs makes their way home to SFYC after the final day of racing. For many, summer turns to fall as school starts today.

Meanwhile, next door, San Francisco YC was finishing up hosting the Opti PCCs, and the winner has been determined. Ryan Satterberg from Santa Barbara YC came north and snatched the victory with a third-place throw-out in the 63-boat Champ fleet. Full results here.
