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

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.
