| Thought I'd share our experience during the Twin Island Race on Saturday.... I entered the race last minute and Scott and another Santana 22 owner answered the call for crew.... Scott was willing to learn how to do the foredeck on the Santana 22 - foredeck on Kelly for this race, was putting up/down the whisker pole going downwind and jibing the pole. We left the docks early to give Scott some time to be acquainted to what he needed to learn. He is definitely a quick study! We had "two" very nice starts!! I do need to learn how to read the SI's!! There were only two starts for this race, a spinnaker and non-spinnaker start. This is my first racing season, so I have given myself a learning curve.............a nice steep one! As we were motoring out to the course, we looked at the tides/currents and the race course and decided which way to travel. The Twin Island Race is very fun - you can round Angel Island and Alcatraz any direction. Angel is land to Starboard first or Alcatraz to Port first. Read More (Members)
