2020 YRA Calendar • Latitude 38 • Page 13 PERFORMANCE PHRF Committee 2020 MATTERS If you have a custom or modified , your boat may need to have its rating reviewed and assigned by J/ and Performance Brokerage the local PHRF committee. With your boat’s measurements, the committee will provide a fair rating so you can quickly join the Bay Area racing scene. From evening beer can racing to offshore regattas to just about J/121 every other keelboat race on the Bay. A PHRF rating will make it easy to sign up for evening beer can races, off- shore regattas, and just about every other keelboat race on the Bay, and start sharpening your skills on course. You can fill out the rating form on page 67 with help from detailed instructions provided on page 66-72.

2020 YRA Calendar • Latitude 38 • Page 15 Rules Latitude 38’s Basic Racing Guidelines Since sailboat racing is a recreational sport, we think the number one rule should be to have fun. Beyond that, some basic guidelines help prevent collisions and ensure that racing is both fun and fair. Below is an outline of the 10 ba- sic rules that cover most racing situations. For completeness and total accuracy, refer to Rac- ing Rules of Sailing 2017-2020, published by US Sailing. See www.ussailing.org/rules for details.

1. Port keep clear of starboard tack. 2. If boats are on the same tack and overlapped, the windward boat must keep clear of the boat to leeward. 3. If boats are on the same tack, a boat clear astern must keep clear of a boat clear ahead. 4. When or jibing, keep clear of boats on a tack. 5. Avoid collisions. If you have the right of way and hit the other boat, causing damage or injury, you will both be penalized. 6. Don’t obstruct. Don’t make it hard for the ‘keep clear’ boat to do so. (No hunting allowed.) 7. Sail the course prescribed. You have to round the marks in the directions specified in the Sailing Instruc- tions and can’t touch a mark. 8.

2020 YRA Calendar • Latitude 38 • Page 47 San Francisco Bay These current charts show direction and speed of the tidal current for each hour of current at the San Francisco Bay entrance. The charts depict the flow of tidal currents under normal weather conditions.

Page 62 • Latitude 38 • 2020 YRA Calendar Women’s Circuit During the Yacht Racing Association awards party at BYC in November, Latitude 38 crowned a new Queen of the Unofficial Women’s Circuit. In 2019, Joan Byrne sailed her Olson 911S in IYC’s Sa- die Hawkins Race in March and SBYC’s Red Bra Regatta in October. Joani and her co-chair Winnie Kelley put in countless hours to make the all-female Red Bra Regatta a success, with 20 boats racing. She loaned Heart of Gold to her regular crewmem- ber, Collette Meyers so that Collette could skipper in the Amazing Grace Cheney Cup hosted by RYC in November. “Joani has been instrumental in enhancing my racing experience and helping me build my network in the Bay Area sailing community,” said Collette. “I often refer to her as my sailing mom. She has challenged and encouraged me both on and off the water.” In April, Joani served on the Women and Sailing Panel at the Pacific Boat Show, talking about what women want on the water, sharing her experiences, reassuring women that it’s okay to want different outcomes from boating, and offering various ways to get involved. “She does much more than just being out on the water racing,” wrote Patti Mangan of SBYC in her nomination letter. “Joani’s mission is to empower women on the water Joan Byrne: 2019 Queen of the Women’s Circuit. and get them involved in racing.”
