Hello PYSF Parents, Sailors and Community Members--
South San Francisco Bay delivered some epic conditions for the opening day of the C420 Open North American Championship! Three races were completed in 16-20 knots and an ebb current. We saw some broken masts, kids swimming and LOTS of smiles as kids took on the challenging conditions. Impressive to watch so many kids rise to the challenge and excel. We are expecting it to be another spicy day out there. Race leaders going into day two are Chase Decker and Ryan Hoffman from 73 Sailing. Excited to see the action today!
106 teams from around the country are competing in the C420 North American Championship, just outside Redwood Creek in South San Francisco Bay. The fleet is divided into two groups of 53, completing two days of qualifying races followed by two days of championship racing. The fleets are racing on a trapezoid course. Sponsors: Hannig Sail It Forward Foundation, InvestorFlow, Westpoint Harbor, Hurrica Restaurant, San Francisco Peninsula, Somand, NAOS Yachts. REGATTA LINK PHOTO LINK
If you would like to get in on the action we would LOVE it. Do you have a boat and can take out spectators? Do you have a few free hours to help move dollies off the ramp, or serve snacks to the kids after racing, or help with checkin? Email Siobhan at office@pysf.us or use the link at top of sheet to let us know. HERE is the spreadsheet listing all of our rockstar volunteers.
See you out on the water--Molly
