Three Bridge Fiasco is a Whopper

By LaDonna | January 30, 2009 | San Francisco Bay |

This weekend’s Three Bridge Fiasco, sponsored by the Singlehanded Sailing Society, is one of the Bay’s most popular races, consistently drawing hundreds of local sailors. This year’s record-breaking 350 boats will begin crossing the start line off Golden Gate YC at 9:30 tomorrow morning, heading whichever way they feel like in an effort to round three marks near the Golden Gate, Bay and Richmond bridges.

Considering the forecast for 5 to 10 knots of breeze, and the fact that January isn’t known for its predictable winds, those boats might be out there awhile. So if you’re planning a daysail to take advantage of the fine weather (you are, aren’t you?), you should be greeted by quite a spectacle.
