Wednesday Three Bridge Fiasco Meeting

With all the miserable weather we’ve been getting this winter, this weekend’s sun and relatively light breeze were a welcome relief and we hope to see more of it, including for the upcoming Three Bridge Fiasco. Weather likely won’t matter to the single and doublehanded racers who’ll turn out January 26, to contest this zany Bay Area classic — the TBF is one of the few races anyplace where the racers choose the course (marks near the Bay’s three large bridges can be rounded in any order). Maybe that’s one reason it’s among the best-attended local events all year, typically drawing upward of 200 boats. The skipper’s meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. this Wednesday, January 16, at the Oakland YC, although entries will be accepted throughout the following week when accompanied by a $15 late fee. For more info on the TBF, check out the sponsoring Singlehanded Sailing Society’s website at www.sfbaysss.org/index.html. You can find this and nearly any event in Latitude 38‘s Sailing Calendar, an indispensable one-stop guide to sailing in Northern California. Pick one up today and plan your season before it starts!
