SFYC Youth Regatta, May 27 & 28, 2006.
BAYS #1 Green Fleet Regatta Report
On Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, the San Francisco Yacht Club hosted the Bays #1 Regatta. Ten boats showed up for green fleet racing on Saturday and twelve boats showed up on Sunday. The green fleet course was sailed directly of the San Francisco Yacht Club in Belvedere Cove.
On Saturday, during most of the racing the current was flooding slightly and the wind was coming from the north in the cove. It was shiftier in the afternoon than in the morning. The wind changed from heavier to less throughout the day.
On Sunday, the second day of the regatta skies were clear and sunny. The current was flooding stronger than the day before and the wind was coming from the west, which are more normal conditions. The wind was also shiftier in the afternoon than Saturday and less windy. The entire green fleet had an equal amount of good races. The top three green fleet finishers were Eleanor Allen from SFYC - who placed 3rd , Isaac Berez from PYSF/SYC (11269) - who placed 2nd , and Lindsey Baab from SFYC (2766) who won the green fleet. All the competitors had a great two days of racing.

Richardson Bay / Championship fleet
On May 27 and 28, 2006 SFYC, played host to its annual Youth Regatta. Races were held at the mouth of Richardson Bay East of Sausalito. The weather was near perfect with plenty of sunshine and wind. You never know what Richardson Bay will bring, but this weekend the wind came through and delivered enough, shifts, puffs and lulls to keep the sailors working hard. Opti’s, FJ’s, 420’s, 4.7’s, radials and full rigs shared the same racing area which really kept everyone on the lookout. The gusty winds left their mark with a few swampings and capsizes. SFYC Junior Director Richard Feeney acted as PRO and did a great job keeping things moving along considering the numerous classes and frequent mark relocations due to the steadily shifting wind.
Racing started Saturday with a cool brisk 15 kt. Northwesterly. As the afternoon wore on, a seabreeze from the West tried to fill in. The two systems fought producing lulls and shifts, but eventually the Westerly won out. The new wind challenged the White fleeters to hang on, and five races were sailed. Saturday evening SFYC hosted a wonderful BBQ on their lawn area.
Sunday saw more of a typical bay wind pattern, with a mild Southerly breeze for the first race. As the day progressed, the wind velocity picked up as the wind veered West for the seabreeze. The leeward mark was placed near the lee shore of Richardson Bay, where the wind rises over the Belvedere peninsula which leaves a shifty, light air band of water. Lots of optis traded position here. By the 5th race the seabreeze had filled in and the wind was providing 15 kts with some bigger gusts. Congratulations to white Fleeters Henry Buckingham, Jack Barton, Marie-Kell De Cannart and Will Cefali for hanging in there for all 10 races.!
