| Delta Ditch Run at Stockton Sailing Club/Richmond Yacht Club | June 2 |

| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
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)" |

have done it a couple of times and mostly experienced a wind shut down past midnight in the Bay and taking as long to cover the last mile as it took to cover the previous 10 so good to try to arrive before then
other than that, check forecast to see if it is worth going a bit of extra distance offshore to catch the offshore breeze Vs staying closer to land
:: Hi All -
::
:: Tequila Mockingbird is signed up for Spin Cup and I was
:: looking around the previous messanges for any
:: information about the race itself (dealing with
:: Monterrey Bay, tactics, currents, etc....) but couldnt
:: find any.
::
:: Any of the more experienced racers on the site willing
:: to impart some knowledge / thoughts with a noobie?
::
:: For any boats that might be keen, the safety
:: requirements are the NORCAL ORC ones and there are
:: already 5 boats in our div including a Moore 24 (but no
:: e27's yet). It's the weekend after Elite Keel and before
:: Delta Ditch so the turnaround time is a little tight but
:: with Memorial day the Monday after, I am hoping it is
:: doable.
