Great to see so many SSS Sailors in this years PacCup. I am following the sailing tracks but I did not see any reports or blog links. Any word from our fellow SSS friends Bob & Dave? Carliane or...

Yes thanks RC…If we keep this start with edds we should rename the race the Golden Gate Flush

Matt, my fading RC memory is the membership is the person not the boat so yes..However, the boats are scored separately and not together for season points….You moving on from Tinker?….Rick

That was a very wet night and I was sure glad to see you and the Sea Squirrel crew (and my admiral Linda!). I am pretty sure she will be seeing Hawaii again. Great to know she is in good hands….

My beloved Wylie 39 “Lightspeed” is back and registered for the Three Bridge. She was purchased by Gilles Combrisson of GC Rigging. Gilles has some special plans for both racing and cruising. She was...

I know Ben & Bea had/have boat Doxies so I am hopeful my little Cody will like to ride….

This thread is going to the dogs…….Santa also visited Koke Honu…Not sure if this 8 yr old Doxie likes sailing but I am going to give it a try with a warm delta trip and see….Marry Christmas Sailors…....

Rafi just posted this...LG3 is upright! Congrats! https://vimeo.com/560209877

Many of you know BAMA Rafi who has raced SSS with us for many years. Rafi and crew are home safe but flipped his F28 yesterday coming in for the Farallons Race. Rafi is hoping to right LG3...

I agree and float the following:
TBF SH/DH the whole idea is a Fiasco
Corinthian SH only
RTR SH only
Drakes Bay with YRA SSS SH only DH reg in YRA
Half Moon Bay would like another SH only but...

The art of singlehanding sailing may fad away as Doublehanded takes over singlehanded in SSS. This is a tough SSS decision because the $$ from doublehanded entries pays the bills.

Larger is not...

I see Cliff (Rainbow) is talking in the SHTP forum thread about approval of online Safety at Sea https://shop.ussailing.org/education/safety-at-sea/

I need to renew my SaS in order to do offshore...

Saw that and a J24 in the Express 27 group. I am sailing against a Cal 40 Multihull

Picture of my TBF..I have had better days...6206

Will be interesting to hear of any damage after this blows through....RYC SailFlow Pro real time at 2100 43K with 55K gusts...

Looks like some strong winds rolling through tonight. Batten down your hatched if you haven’t already

I am going to try and come down tomorrow 1/22 and get my spinnaker out of its snuffer sock and rolled up on a new Colligo top down furler. If it works as advertised, I hope to get some TBF practice...

Ironically going back to the SSS roots. I agree with Jonathan still a great value for racers, although the SSS budget will miss a lot of you Express & Moore racers...

Mixed feelings on SSS checkin’s. Out the Gate SHF, DB & HMB I felt was needed for USCG & to sleep well as Race Chair. In the Bay however, just thinks of how many people sail the Bay unsupervised...

Rob, great points. Good to hash this out early as SSS TBF is not just another race but for many the first intro to shorthanded sailing. I am “assuming” GGYC may be closed or limited occupancy so RC...

Joe good job. I just took the SSS survey on Jibeset. As a former Race Chair I like the idea of using Berkeley Circle as a start and finish for the Three Bridge Fiasco. My thinking is Pro’s, less...

Jackie, I replaced my deck & steaming bulbs with led. All work better than the original. Found everything on Amazon by just entering the existing bulb info but in led form. 5974

Sounds like fun going on my calendar! Koke Honu is capable of being a shore landing craft if needed. Not sure which hat is older, don’t remember the year we did the long bill hats...Rick
