Sailing Education Adventures

Last Tuesday, Adam (me), Bill, and Joe set out on Shockwave to compete in the fourth race of the SYC Summer Sunset Series.  We encountered warm weather and nice 10-15 mph winds.  We used the 155% jib and moved our cars back towards the stern.  This helped us sail faster and point higher. 

As we rounded the temporary inflatable at Yellow Bluff and headed towards Harding Rock, the fog grew thicker and visibility became limited.  We still were able to locate Harding Rock, jibe around it, and head towards Pt. Knox on a broad reach. 

We finished the race just after sunset and beat out two other boats in our division. We then motored back under a bright moon and the lights of Sausalito.
