2017 OYRA Series and YRA calendar

It's been four months since Greg's post and it's close to decision time. Currently there are four doublehanded boats registered for OYRA and no singlehanders yet:

2017 OYRA Entries

2016 was the inaugural season for the singlehanded division in OYRA and we'd like to see it continue. These races are a way to get extended tiller time in less-congested conditions, test your gear, try various sail combinations and other stuff you can't do during the more intense SSS Bay races. If you're planning to race an SSS ocean race you will already have the gear - the equipment lists are the same. Missing something? Let us know - one of us may have a spare.

It's a tight group of skippers who really enjoyed racing together last year. Would you join us? And please pass the word.

I'm in - Single handed - for most, if not all, of the series this year.
will sign up later today.

Went through Domino's offshore gear yesterday and realized its a flare renewal year.
and a new battery for the PLB.
expensive day for just sitting in the slip

ah well.

As far as racing is concerned ... My main question is: where do all these races start from?

Double Espresso is in Santa Cruz and any race starting in SF Bay is a bit of a logistics problem ...

They all start in SF Bay, sorry. At least the Half Moon Bay race would get you part way back home!

OYRA 2017: There's a good group of doublehanders but no singlehanders, so I'll sign up today doublehanded.

I bought a couple more flares yesterday and I think we're good to go - see you at the Lightbucket on Saturday!
 
Looks like three procrastinating single-handers crawled out of the woodwork at the last minute and signed up. Hope we have enough wind to get started. Michael J. Hylite
 
Yep, it's a good-sized batch of shorthanders:

OYRA Lightship Fleets

Hylite, Domino and Joujou just signed up singlehanded. I'm enjoying racing with Dave but had I known sooner, I probably would have signed up solo "for the sake of the order" (a Bill Merrick expression).
