2010 Twilight Success


On August 30, the last race of the Twilight Series at Lake Ralphine was sailed in variable winds: a beat became a reach, became a run, and then a beat again. This year, 15 skippers participated and the City of Santa Rosa's rental agreement with the Club provided 10 of these skippers the chance to race without trailering their own boats to the lake. The results: Laser Class: (1) Doug Howson, (2) Paul Bussard, (3) Charlie Dotti, (4) Dan Gurney; Open Class: (1) Steve Sarsfield, (2) Gail Cafferata; Full Results

Sail the Petaluma River and Downtown Turning Basin

We will cruise on the Petaluma River, Saturday, October 9. Put in at the launching ramp at the Petaluma Marina, sail (staring at 10 A.M.) to the Petaluma Turning Basin (under the “D” Street Bridge which will open for us), eat lunch, and then sail to Lakeville for haul out. Please send an email to Wallace Whiting for coordination.

It will make a great sight if we can get a good turnout as we sail around the Turning Basin. Last year, Mike Bolger led our group of 4 sailboats (including a sailing/paddling/pedaling kayak) to Lakeville and back, and it was a great adventure.

Join the fun for this exciting non-racing event.

Spring Lake Summer Series
by Gordon Amrein, Race Officer

The summer race series at Spring Lake has be disappointingly attended. We've raced four race days, and two of them had only two boats racing. A total of eight sailors have participated and only Mike O'Toole has attended three of the four. Although the weather may have contributed to the low turn-out, August 14 was a beautiful day - warm and breezy (albeit a little gusty) and longer courses were used. Only three seconds separated the first and second F J s on the last race. All-in-all it was a very good day to be at Spring Lake.

The September race # 5 (September 11) should have good sailing weather, so, even though you may not have sailed any of the other race days, come out for the last hurrah of the summer.
