If you sailed this winter, you had a mix of no wind, big wind, shifts, rain, sun, big current and sneak anchoring. Throughout all this, Pineapple- Powered boats had the versatility to out- shine the rest. Glenn Isaacson in Q, his Schumacher-de- signed 40-ft daysailer, was the winner of Golden Gate Yacht Club’s 24-boat PHRF 1 Fleet. Richard von Ehrenkrook in his Cal 20, Can PHOTOS: PETER LYONS/WWW.LYONSIMAGING.COM o’ Whoopass, won his division at Corinthian Yacht Club, and over at Berkeley Yacht Club, won his class for the Saturday series and the Champion of Champions race as well. George Ellison with Shameless, a modified Capo 30, placed first in Berkeley’s Champion of Champions race in Fleet 2. And Bill Riess’s Express 37, Elan, beat the rest of his one design fleet in Corintian Yacht Club’s series. Across a broad spectrum of conditions and a wide range of boats, each Pineapple Sail is designed and built (right here in sunny Alameda!) to meet the most demanding of circumstances.

About1889 NATIONAL ARCHIVES PUBLIC PROGRAMS FORMER CHINESE SHRIMP CAMPS Sailing route of the Grace Quan to retrace the history of Chinese shrimp shing in San Francisco Bay THE PROJECT Chinese Whispers: Bay ChroniclesSM retraces the history of Chinese shrimp shing in San Francisco Bay through sailings on the Grace Quan, an authentic 43-foot replica of a 19th century Chinese shrimp junk, to former Chinese shrimp shing sites in the Bay. The captain of the boat will be John C. Muir, archaeologist and Curator of Small Craft at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, who led the building of the Grace Quan. Together with Chinese WhispersSM Director Rene Yung, an interdisciplinary team of visual, sound, and media artists will chronicle the journeys on the Grace Quan, along with environmental scientists from the San Francisco Estuary Institute. Along the sailing route, landside public programs will connect local sites to the overall history. The project will culminate in a transmedia art installation in 2015 at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. Chinese Whispers: Bay ChroniclesSM is a collaboration between Chinese WhispersSM and the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park that explores the history of Chinese shrimping activities as a vehicle to retrace an overlooked and important segment of the Bay Area’s maritime history.

  • San Francisco Bay Shrimp Junk Project
    SAN FRANCISCO BAY SHRIMP JUNK PROJECT From March through September 2003, the Small Craft Department of San Francisco Maritime Na- tional Historical Park, in conjunction with China Camp State Park, built a full-scale reconstruction of a San Francisco Bay Area fishing boat: a Chinese Shrimp Junk. Photo left: The Shrimp Junk taking shape at China Camp State Park. Photo: Gary Parsons. Working from historic photographs, oral histories, and archaeological information, the largely vol- unteer crew, led by San Francisco Maritime NHP curator and boatbuilder John Muir, constructed the 42- foot junk. It was built outdoors at the site of one of the largest of the Chinese Shrimp fishing villages: China Camp State Park, in San Rafael, California. Photo left: These single-mast vessels, ranging from 30 to 50 feet in length, were built almost entirely of local redwood. The long and narrow junks plied the waters of the shallower regions of the Bay Area from circa 1860 to 1910. The fishermen worked large triangular nets staked to mudflats, and brought their catch of shrimp ashore to small fishing villages. The shrimp were boiled, dried and processed for shipment to Hawaii and Asia. The SF Bay Shrimp Junk Project boatbuilding team constructed the junk using, as much as possible, original materials and traditional Chinese boatbuilding techniques. The team hand-forged its own nails and mixed its own caulking putty. They also used the traditional Chinese method of bending wood through the direct application of fire.
