Crew List Party ‘Save the Date’
Are you a racer who likes to keep a cushion of ‘stand in’ crewmembers when your regulars can’t make it? Do you wish you could go on more daysails but don’t like sailing alone? New to the Bay or just want to get out on the water more? Then save the evening of March 11…
Rules Seminar Packs Corinthian YC
Saturday had to be one of the nicest days of this young year, yet about 90 of the Bay’s most ardent racers chose to spend it in the Corinthian YC ballroom — with every window shade drawn, and not a beer in sight. What would possess them to do that? A North U. Racing Rules…
Less Danger From Shipping?
Offshore sailors always worry about getting run down by ships. The danger is less now than anytime in recent memory. Part of it is because of new technology such as AIS, but much of it is because of economics. There’s just not as much shipping as there used to be. With oil having dropped over…

Shave and a Haircut for Ol’ Balclutha
Still lookin’ good 123 years after her launch, Balclutha will be hauled out in Alameda until spring. © Capt. Jack Goldthorpe No San Francisco landmark commemorates the city’s rich maritime history more dramatically than the 301-ft (LOA) square-rigger Balclutha. Built of steel in Scotland in 1886 to haul bulk grain, her half-century-long commercial career took…
Sailboat Washed Up on Ocean Beach
On or around New Year’s Eve, a 24-ft sailboat washed up on Ocean Beach. U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Reed reports that Sherry Mae broke loose from her mooring — he could not confirm where she was moored — while her owner was out of town. The Coasties have been in contact with the owner,…
