Hi to Deb and other Tuna racers…..
I’m acting as RC for the 8th annual/2016 Westpoint Regatta race on Saturday, July 9th. This is an easy downwind, low-key competition from TI to Redwood City as part of YRA’s “party circuit.”
Last year 84 boats did the race which finished near the entrance to Redwood Creek Channel. It was followed by Sequoia YC’s “signature” party at the clubhouse with two bands that kept the club rockin until midnight. On Sunday a pancake breakfast was enjoyed by all, then everybody headed back north to their home berths.
I’d love to see the Tuna fleet include this regatta in its Saturday-Sunday schedule as it’s such an easy race followed by a very fun “island time” party with over 250 sailors and guests of all ages.
So if the fleet would like to do this I’d try to arrange for exclusive tuna berthing on one of the end ties at Port of Redwood City Marina in order for all the 22’s to be together for a “sleepover.”
Just let me if this is something the fleet would be interested in. I know all of us helping organize the Westpoint Regatta would encourage this participation.
Best from Palo Alto….

Subject: [Santana 22] Proposed 2016 Santana 22 Championship Series Season
Hi Racers,
We would love to get your input on the proposed schedule options. In the past, the Championship Series consisted of the BYC Wheeler Regatta and the YRA Spring and Summer Series (typically 15 races). In addition, this year we have been invited to join the Classic Boat Racing Association (CBRA) as well as the RYC Big Daddy Regatta; throw in the Great Pumpkin, and that's 29 races. For those who enjoy the slot, the CBRA schedule offers the most Central Bay options.
As a comparison, the Cal 20's Championship Series includes 29-31 races with 7 throw outs.
Before we commit, we would like to get your input on the schedule. (See the attachment for the races, dates and locations.) Below are some options. We need a minimum of 5 boats signed up for each to have our own OD start. We are seeing an increase in the number of participants, especially for Jack Frost... we have 13 boats signed up!!!! Yes, 13!! We would like to continue the momentum. Please take a moment and review the options, or suggest alternatives. Also, make a recommendation for the number of throw outs.
Option 1 - Wheeler Regatta and YRA Spring and Summer (15 races)
Option 2 - Big Daddy, Wheeler, YRA Spring and Summer, Great Pumpkin (21 races)
Option 3 - Big Daddy, Wheeler, CBRA, Great Pumpkin (17 races)
Option 4 - Big Daddy, Wheeler, YRA Spring and Summer, CBRA, Great Pumpkin (29 races)
Option 4 is an enthusiastic schedule, but it has a lot to offer. The number of throw outs shown on attachment is only a suggestion. (This is the number of throw outs in the Cal 20 series.) If we increase the number of throw outs for this option, everyone wouldn't have to sign up for every regatta or series but could still be competitive.
Please provide some input and feedback before March 24. Our goal is to have the schedule posted by March 26.
Also included on the attachment is the newly titled "Long Haul" series; formerly the "Spinnaker" Series. It is anticipated that spinnakers will be used for these races; however, if a boat wants to do these races without a spinnaker, we can make an adjustment to the PHRF to make them competitive. Adjustment to be determined based on participation.
Please note, in order to be counted in the Santana 22 Championship Series, fleet membership is required and must be paid in full for the year.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Cheers,
Deb Fehr
