 SEA member Cathy Stierhoff skippered her Santana 22 Tackful in the Sausalito Yacht Club's first annual Champion of Champions race on Saturday, October 22, taking 3rd place honors overall.
The Sausalito Yacht Club hosts a "spring sunset series" and a "summer sunset series" every other Tuesday night from April through September. All of the skippers that placed first, second or third overall in their division for either series was invited to compete in the CofC this past Saturday. 11 of the 15 qualifying boats came out to race on a spectacular fall day. Tackful had placed 3rd in our division in the spring series, so we got to come out and play again.
Joining Cathy as crew were husband, first mate (and okay, really the boat owner) Frank Lawler and Ted Miller, former SEA member recently returned to the Bay Area.

 What’s one word to describe tonight? Teamwork!
The evening started with a small hiccup. The main halyard was caught at the top of the mast. So, without question or hesitation, Chris scaled the mast! I think he was even surprised that the “operation” (and apparatus) worked. After getting the boat rigged, Chris, Karen, Anne and I (Helena) were off to the start line, where with minutes to spare, we made our check-in at the committee boat.
After a few tacks, we were crossing the starting line to our windward mark. With winds of 15-20 knots, we had the boat heeling and all crew on the high-side. After rounding our mark, we were on a downwind course to Ft. Knox, then, headed to the finish line.
What did we learn while we were out there? Chris is a rock star skipper! What else did we learn? His all-women crew members were rocking it as well! The reason it all worked is because of teamwork.
Hearing the horn blow when crossing the finish line was incredible! A few high-fives and we were headed back to the dock. Getting the news back at the club, we found out that we placed 4th out of 7, and we were only 1 minute, 17 seconds behind the 3rd boat! What a fantastic night! |

If you were watching the SYC Women's Skipper Regatta on Saturday, you'd note that many SEA women were racing and many were winning! And, if they weren't winning, they were sure having one heck of a time.
Cathy Stierhoff on Tackful blew everyone out of the water. Again. She placed first in her fleet and was all smiles receiving award after award. Congrats, Cathy!

 SEA was one busy group over this fabulous weekend!
SEA folks, along with 80,000 volunteers up and down the California coast, cleaned the beaches, picking up fishing line, bottle caps, plastic bottles, coffee lids and cigarette butts - it's a pretty sobering scene when you spend three hours focused on collecting wayward trash!
Afterward we had a visiting one legged seagull offer a personal thank you - and nibble on homemade scones we also enjoyed. And, then we were off to one heck of a BBQ sponsored by The Sausalito Lions Club, Whole Foods and other local businesses.
