    This is one of my questions for the evening post TBF briefing tonight. Stay tuned. I heard earlier today that CYC is also soon putting up a new antenna that will be like the one at GGYC so expect good reception too.

    Thanks. I added to my post once I remembered the old course better.

    The Corinthian Race in 2001 was my first-ever SSS race. We raced it doublehanded on my red J/33 Troubadour. Several years later when I was SSS Treasurer and t-shirt wonk, we designed a pirate-themed shirt with a treasure map depicting all the marks. You may recall the "floating island," among other details.

    The long run from Blackaller to Southampton has always been my favorite leg of any race on the Bay - unless you crash and break stuff, but that never happens!

    Richard, are you going to re-calibrate all the SSS races for us? Because if you are, I'm going to have to re-calibrate all my finish times for the past 13 years. Or maybe I'll just start anew beginning with my new mainstail from Dave Hodges. That will certainly improve my averages. Be afraid, Solo Sailor! Be very afraid!

    I meant pics of the (alleged) new main. But this is fun too.

    For the Corinthian Race, I’m aware of all the reasons NOT to have the old and dangerous Southampton platform as a leeward mark, but it sure would be nice to have a leeward mark in this race east of Angel Island. There are options including the RYC Bob Klein buoy 200 yards north of Southampton.

    Did someone say "options"?

    In response, for entertainment purposes, and to encourage people to READ THE SAILING INSTRUCTIONS WHEN THEY ARE PUBLISHED THE WEDNESDAY BEFORE THE RACE, let me share some options for 13 NM races starting from GGYC.

    Call this "option B":
