    Three Bridge Fiasco 2003

    While looking for something else, I found these 3BF race results from 2003. There are lots of names to remember from SSS races gone by! This was the first 3BF I raced on Ragtime! I was over early because in the heavy current, I drifted over the line stern-first. I was in good company -...

    Offshore package for smaller boat

    A repost, because this didn't sell at Richmond Yacht Club's recent gear sale: Thanks to a generous donor who had to pull the plug on his own Pacific Cup plans, this year’s Gear Sale will be offering a package for a smaller ocean racing sailboat (Moore 24? Santa Cruz 27? Olson 30?) that will...

    Where is "Surprise!"?

    She's fine and is currently getting her nails (brightwork) redone. She raced the 3BF but then K1SMET intervened. Daydreamer took this photo on his way back from Saturday's SSS race. I raced our Vice Commodore (in his Laser) out to Bob Klein and back, then I went back in so Daydreamer could...

    Bobbi Tosse

    I just read that Bobbi Tosse has passed away. She and John Clauser, her husband, had traveled to Stockholm to accept his Nobel Prize in Physics. She apparently picked up a serious illness on the return flight and had been in the hospital. Bobbi was one of my favorite people in sailing. She...

    2022 Vallejo 1-2

    Surprise! took it easy coming back from Vallejo yesterday so I had a chance to take a few cell phone photos. If you have photos or stories from the weekend, feel free to add to this thread. My story is that I had a blast! It was good to see all of you. Basic Instinct, with her kite behaving...

    SSS Shirts

    Is there any interest in old SSS shirts? I really need to clean out the closet. These are mostly unworn (but dusty) and go back to about 2006. Men's L or XL, many in darker colors, a few SHF sweatshirts but mostly polos or long-sleeved T's from other races. Some have cool race logos, like...

    Ben and Lucie Mewes

    Our dear friends and longtime SSS supporters Ben and Lucie Mewes were in an accident last Friday while driving in Idaho. Lucie wrote "In a minute our lives are forever changed. Friday morning wind caught the rig and we fishtailed into the ditch. My sternum is broken. Ben’s on life support...

    Half Moon Bay 2021

    There's only Tom's Race Deck thread about HMB - what a bunch of slackers! How about some stories and photos? How'd you like that flood, that stretched its tentacles all the way down to Pt. San Pedro? Here are two of my favorite people, finishing a second dinner in Pillar Point:

    Random Sailing, and Doggies!

    Things have been slow here on the forum. Hopefully that's because everyone is out sailing. 13 months ago, a couple of us sailed down to visit Kynntana at Embarcadero Cove in Oakland. We walked over to the new Brooklyn Basin development to find a mid-afternoon snack and yes, a latte. (Warm...

    2021 SSS Rocks Race Pixs and Stories!

    On each quarter of the committee boat: Don't get too close - bargers will be shot! These appeared to work - nobody hit us.

    More shorthanded races!

    A reminder that the YRA has two shorthanded races coming up, the Island Tour Regatta on 8/29 and the Encinal Regatta on 9/12. The Island Tour Regatta is the week after the SSS Drake's Bay races. 18 boats have already signed up, including some familiar faces: YRA Island Tour Regatta on Jibeset...

    Update from the "Hanalei Harbormaster"

    Since today is Jim Kellam's birthday, I'll post a note I received from him a few days ago. Not long ago, Jim was told he had carpal tunnel syndrome. He was advised that he should no longer sail Haulback hither and yon, and should find something else to do - can you imagine? So this note was...

    Chartplotters for Sale

    I have two chartplotters I'd like to sell. The Garmin 740s was the primary chartplotter on Ragtime! It is easy to use with its touchscreen and understandable menus, and already has many of our local waypoints programmed in. I'm selling it with a swivel RamMount that worked well in Ragtime!'s...

    Sailing plans for New Year's Day

    I've sailed on NYD for (I think) four out of the last five years. There's the annual circumnavigation and progressive party around Alameda, and there's usually a small gathering in Clipper Cove. I'd be more interested in the latter. The forecast says clear weather and maybe a 10-knot...

    Great SHTP Sled

    IMO. The diesel solves most of the power generation problems (and wrestling with an outboard, gas, etc.) without a significant weight penalty. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/boa/d/marina-del-rey-olson-30-sailboat-diesel/7015654428.html

    Vallejo 1-2 2019

    The first three boats to enter are Alerion Expresses. Are they the hot new SSS ride? How about you, Cinde Lou? I'll race you for pink slips.

    It looks like we've been found

    1,600 viewers at the moment, 1,700 a few minutes later and 1,800 by tonight = new records in the middle of a holiday weekend. It must have been my post about "the motion of the ocean."
