Vallejo 1-2 Approaching
Hello, SSS Racers
Registration for the final SSS races of the year, the Vallejo 1-2, will close in roughly two days, at 2359 Wednesday October 2. The Vallejo 1-2 is a fun chance to try singlehanding from Southampton Shoal downwind to Vallejo Saturday, stay overnight in a marina, and then race “doublehanded” upwind from Vallejo back to Richmond on Sunday. Note you can race “doublehanded” Sunday with just one person, if you like, per definition of doublehanded in the NOR.
The cost covers both days of racing and is as follows:
-
-
- $10 for members
- $45 for non-members
-
There will be an in-person SSS meeting, and competitors’ briefing, at Oakland YC on Wednesday October 2 from 1900-2100. All Vallejo 1-2 racers, and SSS members, are encouraged to attend.
Once you’re at Vallejo, there will be a $25 rib dinner Saturday night.
Sailing Instructions are published on jibeset at https://jibeset.net/JACKY000.
Thank you for racing with the SSS.

Drake’s Bay Race
Hello, SSS Racers.
SIs are posted. Because the SSS Drakes Bay races are run jointly with the YRA Drakes Bay races, many of the details are deferred to a Sailing Instruction Addendum that may not get posted to Jibeset until 1700 Friday.
We will hold an in-person skippers meeting, and general SSS meeting, at Oakland YC on THURSDAY, August 8, starting at 1900. An anonymous donor has offered to cover the first $200 of the bar bill. Please come to that and socialize with your fellow SSS members.
However, if you cannot come to OYC on Thursday, I will hold a zoom session tonight, WEDNESDAY, August 7, starting at 1930. The zoom session will also be open to competitors in the YRA race.
