J.M.: There is a launch ramp. More info at

If your boat is trailerable, I suspect it may not have all the safety equipment required for this race. Please have a look at the Nor Cal Ocean Racing Council's recommended list at
http://norcalorc.org/gear .
It's up to the individual race organizers (SSS in this case) whether to require everything on that list, and there's been some discussion whether to lighten the list for HMB. But as our rules stand

everything is required.
Thanks for your interest. Hope you can make it!
