Spring race is coming up April 18th. We're sailing it with just main and
class lapper, doublehanded. Sign up at <A
href="http://sfbayraces.com/OYC000.php">http://sfbayraces.com/OYC000.php</A> and
get a great time in the Central bay before the wind gets honking, and one of
those famous gentle pastel t-shirts (NOT!) if you get your entry in early
(otherwise you just get a hat).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=137482004-09042009><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, it's getting
pretty close to the YRA opener/Vallejo Race, the official start of our summer
season. Sign-up for that is also online, you need to pay for a YRA
mambership (to sail in any races), and then the ODCA membership (don't forget
your US Sailing discount), or Party Circuit if you just want to do
those.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

dislike the latter...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
