Surpassed 10, at 11 boats committed. On our way to 15 boats?

Honest, this 10 to 12 hour race does not require a trailer. And down wind races don't require the newest sails. Or even a full crew. This is actually an easy to administer race. Warm wind, freash water, different sorts of sights.

An easy 9 to 13 hour motor sail back; honest the motor never stops once Desperado leaves the dock. Unless you want to cruise part of the time. Enjoy the sail up and after race festivities. No hoist que required.

Plenty of camping spots for the two day venture back if that's your choosing. I know one boat annually stays for a week; including compliments of n/c extended berthing at SSC; rsvp ahead: 209/951-5600; or contact harbor master: [email protected].
