    Single handed Olson 30 vs……

    Mathew, The list of SSS Transpac boats in the Race Archives includes many Olson 30s that have sailed the race, with their skippers. Some of the skippers may still be active on this website. You might try contacting the ones that are to answer some of your questions. West Marine's Chuck...

    Bobbi Tosse Has Passed Away

    Here's YRA's posting: "It is with heavy hearts that the YRA shares the passing of Bobbi Tosse, the long serving Treasurer of the YRA and an icon of Bay Area Sailing. Bobbi served as the YRA Treasurer for well over 2 decades, steering us through financial ups and downs, making sure we were on...

    Oldest SSS Hats

    Here's a 1996 East Bay Estuary Race cap and a mug from the 1989 Farallones Race. No, the SSS hasn't always offered t-shirts as mementos. There have been mugs, license plate frames, caps, polo shirts, legal pad folders (I still use my 3-Bridge Fiasco folder), boat photos, scarves, neck gaiters...

    2023 sss race schedule

    I'm setting up my 2023 racing calendar and noticed that Saturday, May 13 is a busy ocean race day. Both the SSS Farallones and OYRA Duxbury Races are scheduled that day. A 10:54 1.6 knot Ebb is probably the reason. I'm registering for the OYRA Series and of course love the SSS Farallones (my...

    Trophies

    It's nice the SSS Board has decided to spend a few (???) bucks on Hawaii trophies. But there are more local trophies, specifically the Singlehanded HMB trophy, that could use some attention, too. The Singlehanded HMB trophy has been missing for quite a few years. It would be nice if the Board...

    Safety at Sea Training

    Just discovered my SAS Certificate expired. Now it's USSA's online version. Has anyone taken the USSA SAS course(es)? Any experience hints? Sounds like 4 hours of getting lectured to from the computer screens? Then the test. Thanks, Pat

    Boat plans

    If a Toro's too small, how about a Melody? A 10-foot version of the Toro idea - complete with bench seats to sit on. My first boat in 1971 - long gone, although I have the mast, boom, centerboard, rudder, very old sail, and a set of plans. (Why I don't know!) I named mine "Unchained." It...

    Manual Bilge Pumps?

    Tom, Since Wylies don't have "bilges" here's what I have (passed 2010 PacCup inspection & NCORC). A Plastimo Cockpit Bilge Pump #1038. 40.5 liters (10.6 gallons) per minute at 45 strokes. It mounts flush with the attached handle folded in, so I mounted it the cockpit with a drain out into...

    Nathalie's Race: Fifth Annual Pop Up Race

    It appears 3 boats have started the Rally to the Light. These shots from the StFYC WebCam are not very clear, but I think they show the boats headed for the Gate. Dark hull, while hulll, and a 3rd way out. Could be Surprise? Envolee? Another?

    Half Moon Bay Singlehanded Trophy

    The Half Moon Bay Singlehanded Trophy has been missing for at least 2 years. I'm trying to track it down for personal reasons: I've won it the last 2 years. I'd like to spend some time with it before the next race. Here's a list of previous winners. My guess is one of you have the Box that...
