South Bay Yacht Racing Association Skippers:
Thanks to Mist, Black Sheep, Vita a Bella, Wired, Columbine and Sandpiper for all making the effort to race in last Saturday's SBYRA Winter #3 off of Sierra Point.
However, the race had to be called because of building winds (20+ kts), growing seas, pelting rain and diminishing visibility.
As such it just got too ugly out there to be safe and fun, especially for the smaller and/or short-handed boats, plus I couldn't image Kevin Hartig trying to stay on-station as RC in those conditions in his little San Juan 24.
(Thanks Kevin for making such a gallant effort to pull this off with just you and Olivier).
Moving on, SBYRA Winter #4 is scheduled for Saturday, February 2nd on the Coyote Point race course in San Mateo - so do plan on joining us then for the noon start.
Best....Larry Westland
