Hello fellow Tuners,
I am a member of a "meetup" group called Got Wind and Water, which gets
folks onto the water who might otherwise not have a ride. This Friday
afternoon they have an informal "race" with three of Spinnaker Sailing's
Santana 22s, and the organizer Abby Mohan has invited any of our fleet
to come along and join in the fun.
This will probably be mostly of interest for South Beach (or Pier
39?)-based boats, but anyone else is also invited - just email or call
the cc: Abby and she'll fit you in. Weather promises to be blustery,
perfect Tuna conditions if you have the right combination of layers.
I'll be there having a blast and trolling for crew, Carlos will be
resting up in Richmond.
We on Carlos had a great time on Saturday's Great Pumpkin regatta, I
hope the other boats found it as enjoyable. Pity about that first race,
but for once the wx forecasters nailed it, and races 2 and 3 were
hard-fought and pretty close. Congrats to Aquila, the class of the
regatta! And to the sweetest Tuna I've seen for a while, the new boat
Kitten (who will be joining Carlos, Bonito and I hope many others in the
Jack Frost winter series).

Your Assistant Organizer, Abby Mohan, sent the following message to some
members of Got Wind and Water . . .:
Hello everyone,
This is Abby the manager here at Spinnaker Sailing. I am really excited
for Friday's regatta. I am hoping the slight chance of showers in the
morning means there will be some decent wind in the afternoon. I think
this will be a fun event.
Here are the details: Come meet us at 3pm on Friday.
We are located at South Beach Harbor in San Francisco at Pier 40 next to
At&T Ballpark.
We don't have parking passes but you can buy a day pass from the harbor
master's office or park at the metered parking spots on the embarcadero.
Just come to Spinnaker Sailing's office and we will organize into our
respective boats.
The office phone number is 415-543-7333, my cell number is 303-517-3287
if you get lost :)
The best email to reach me at on day of is staff at spinnaker-sailing.com
We have 3 Santana 22's that will be skippered by one of our club members
and then joined by members of GWAW, the idea is to celebrate the end of
the season and to introduce our members to other people who might be
interested in joining them when they charter the boats in the future or
to introduce you folks to some new people to go sailing with. I am
hoping some other Santana 22's join us too!
After organizing into our boats we will leave the harbor and start
racing under the Bay Bridge, race up the city front around Blossom Rock
and back down to the South Bay ending at the RO'RO ships. There will be
a mild 2.2kt flood carrying us home :)
Let me know if you have any questions and please try to keep the
attendence list accurate as that is how I will be organizing the boats!!
fair winds,
Abby
