    "Late Fees" for season members ?!?

    So I entered the season and now I have to pay $10 if I don't register weeks before? Uggg.... the Wednesday cutoff has been there for 30 years+, as were the Wednesday meetings. Appreciate our volunteer committee but another change I think is unnecessary. The committee used to have to...

    Live Meetings.....

    Well it's great that the SSS is going to do a live get together for the 3BF..... however traditionally the SSS never held meetings on weekends so there is less likely for a conflict with other races, family, etc. Such as it is I will be missing out on the live meeting. I miss the mid-week...

    Proposed Rule 69 Ban

    I sent this direct to the board: Was following this story for a while….. These two went on a competitors boat during Big Boat Series and loosened the lifeline turnbuckles. To me this is akin to attempted bodily harm or even murder (if someone had died as a result). These two have no...

    Surprise!

    Well Bob's pretty boat, Chris's new shiny paint and others doing their best peacock strut finally shammed me into painting the Azzura. She has the original Awlgrip that is 24 years old and was crazing and chalking in sections.

    YRA DH series w/SSS???

    So the YRA starts a new DH series and are using several SSS races as part of it. This really sucks for those of us that would like to do the YRA series but are racing solo in the SSS. I already sent YRA an email suggesting they use a different date so people can race with the YRA and SSS...

    ex-Brickyard Cove = Richmond Boardwalk

    https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/boa/d/richmond-dry-storage-crane-launch/7246172720.html Rate hikes look like they are on the way. New ad for 26' is $200 + $8/ft. So my rate is now $160, looks like it would be going up 50% if these rates hit everyone.

    Power-Assisted Sailing - the Slippery Slope

    This thread is to put out information to the SSS members about a slippery slope that in my opinion has now become an edge of a cliff. This has to do with one of the US Sailing rules which is: 52. MANUAL POWER: A boat’s standing rigging, running rigging, spars and movable hull...

    2020 Three Bridge Fiasco

    Excellent day on the water, especially for the new all carbon A27. That new build seems to have a slight increase in mainsail area over the standard A27.
