I'm racing in this Regatta, are you?

Please RSVP YES if you are, and in your comment, state which boat (Boat Type, Name).

Throughout 2010, we are going to keep track of which members are racing on which boats in which regattas. It's our way of spreading the word about the people that are members of the Got Wind and Water Sailing Network, who are active in the sport of Yacht Racing on San Francisco Bay.

If you are NOT racing, but want too, RSVP 'Maybe' and state in the comments what you would like to race on. Make sure that your Got Wind and Water profile is filled out.

We will use these RSVP's to help you connect with the Owners and Crew Captains of Race boats.

Most often, these people are looking for specific types of people with specific skills. We want them to use Got Wind and Water to find the people they are looking for.

We will also use these Race Events to put in post race comments and photo albums. We want the sailing community to know that we are networking active sailors of all levels and positions, including those that race.

Sunday's race provided Kuai with a first place. It was a very exciting day for us. We narrowly beat out 'Always Friday' with less than a minute between us on corrected time.

The Schumacher Cup 2010 results can be found here: http://www.yra.org/PC/docs/RaceResults/SchumacherCup_2010... Kuai managed a 3rd place out of 72 boats (which made us very happy). We corrected out at 543.5 seconds per mile (6.62 knots average). We narrowly beat out John Liebenberg on the Antrim 27 'Always Friday', which corrected out at 544.2 - less than 1 second per mile separated the two boats.

I know I'm responding too late, but I'd love to be included in any upcoming races. I don't have a ton of experience, but am eager to learn. If there's a boat out there that needs an extra hand, please let me know!

  “ What a great ride! We fought it out with Mintaka 4 upwind to round Alcatraz clockwise. A Flying Tiger was going the other direction and we had to take the Alcatraz Shoal buoy a little wide not to be smashed like a bug between the Tiger and and the buoy. Mintaka 4 caught us on the downwind leg and we rounded the leeward mark within a few boat lengths of them. The breeze and the waves were up as we clawed our way back in front to cross the line just behind the Antrim 27 - Always Friday. We think that earned us first place in our division, so the celebration began moments after crossing the line. We saw the Catamaran Shadow on it's side and listened to the drama unfold on the radio as we made our way back to the berth. ”
