Drew will coordinate 3-4 boats out of Spinnaker Sailing in SF.

OCSC is going to donate a tub(s) of ice and fill it with sodas.

John Cabrall has chartered the J109 'Knot's^2 He'll take 6 people, who'll share the cost ($70 each)

Peter Antypas will take 5 on Sabina, a private yacht, there is no upfront cost - but there is that coffee can . . .

Peter Pillsbury will take 2 on Kyra's Joy - a Catalina 36 - the Crew will share in the cost of the dock/mooring fee.

Ken A will take 4 on a 32 ft Hunter out of Club Nautique. They will share the charter cost ($63 each)

Jack Coulter will take 6 on board Echo, a 36 ft Farallone Clipper - the crew will share the cost of the docking/mooring fee - I'm encouraging Jack to mount a coffee can . . .

Laurie Nardinelli is chartering a J105 from OCSC. She's loaded the event description into the 'Message Board' Event folder. Laurie's crew is currently set up, so we'll just see them there.

Now here is something special. Herb Potter wants to participate in the Winter Sailstice. His boat Kira, is an Aerodyne 38 which he keeps at the San Francisco Yacht Club. It's a performance cruising yacht with an Asymmetrical Spinnaker. It is a really sweet boat. He likes to sail with a small group. He spends about half his time on the West Coast, the other half the time he's on the East Coast. I'm going to comb through the Got Wind and Water membership and pick people from the Main Event RSVP list to build a crew for him for the Winter Sailstice. Going to Ayala Cove would be like crossing the street, so Herb will take Kira out to stretch her legs before arriving at Angel Island. If you have Asymmetrical Spinnaker experience, include that in your comment with you RSVP.


Stay tuned as more AO's sign up and post their plans.

When you sign up for one of the many boats that are going, RSVP 'No' on this main page and add a comment that tells everyone which boat you are going on.

       WOW, what a cool day. People came from all over the bay area on all kinds of boats. We filled up the docks at Ayala Cove and took over the lawn. Had it all to ourselves for the barbecue :) The sun came out, it was warm, then the clouds came in and gave us some wind to go sailing in. A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who attended. Met a lot of old friends and met some new ones.

       The weather could have been better, but everything else was great. Met some new people, and caught up with old friends. Success!
