Hi Pete. On a normal afternoon the thing to do after a start near the Knox buoy is to sail off on port tack towards Sausalito's Hurricane Gulch. Eventually you will sail into a port tack header, after which you will flop over to starboard and be lifted to the top mark out near Yellow Bluff. This approach even seems to work when current considerations would suggest otherwise.
There's a good chance that the bottom mark will be tucked in close to Angel Island down near Pnt. Blunt. Whether approaching or leaving this mark, you can escape an adverse current by sailing close to the Island.
Hope this helps. One more thing: the Knox course can get very light and flukey and sometimes a bit frustrating. Be prepared to be patient. Otherwise, it could be just a great day to be sailing and racing.
Anyone inteested in a raftup in Richardson Bay or Angel Island afterwards?
Cheers. Frank

Does anybody from saulsalito want to chime in with some local
knowledge? I think that we will have a few boats out that haven't
done too much racing in that area.
Thanks,
Pete
