http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28. "My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton. My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell. So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

For the February LD/Fun Series race, I'm suggesting Saturday Corinthian only on February 16th or 23rd. Its usually the third weekend of the month. If there's agreement on this I will work on the one day entry fee with CYC. So, that is the weekend after Berkeley midwinter.
The regatta includes a Saturday night dinner/dance. I've suggested Saturday only as the Alameda boats have stated in the past that its a lot of extra work taking the boats home kitty corner to this race course area late Sunday afternoon.
If we were to do both days, I would. However, wanted to take into account one of the objections I've heard in the past from the Alameda boats.
The course lengths for CYC midwinters are 4 to 10 miles. On a good wind day there is plenty of after race dock festivities. One a bad wind day the race course is shortened with at club festivities in mind.
I am not oppossed to this race being the first LD/Fun Series race for the season, given the after race social, dinner dance that evening. Becuase of the festivities I think CYC Saturday midwinter is a great way to start the season LD/Fun series.
