Who We Are

The Singlehanded Sailing Society provides a forum where sailors and others interested in the sport of singlehanded sailing can share their ideas and experiences. It is the intent of the SSS to make it possible for such sailors to compete in seaworthy sailing vessels of various types and designs on a fair and equitable basis. The races provide an organized arena in which ideas, equipment, designs, and vessels specifically created, built, modified, or equipped for long distance singlehanded racing may be tested and evaluated through friendly sportsmanlike competition. The development of personal skill in singlehanded sailing is encouraged through sailing events and seminars.

The Society organizes seven regular annual races in and around the San Francisco Bay. In addition to the races organized by the Society, each year the SSS sponsors lectures and educational seminars to promote safe shorthanded racing and cruising, and to help prepare interested skippers for the challenge of the long distance races sponsored by the Society.

Skippers' meetings are held on the Wednesday preceding each race. Trophies are awarded to the winning yachts in each division of all races, and all racers are presented with a memento acknowledging their participation. Perpetual trophies are awarded to the Singlehanded and Doublehanded Season Champions.

What We Do

Single and Doublehanded Racing in San Francisco Bay and the Gulf of the Farallones, plus two major offshore races: The Great Pacific Longitudinal Race (400 miles in the Pacific), and the Singlehanded TransPac (2200 miles from San Francisco to Hawaii) .
