Welcome to the YRA’s 2013 Racing Season! As always, we’ve got racing opportunities for everyone, whether you sail a multihull, a classic woody or a one design boat, sail on the ocean or under PHRF in the Bay. For 2013 the YRA Racing Season offers four different racing options: • Party Circuit: includes our three marquee weekend regattas as well as the Summer Sail- stice Race. • YRA Series: a four-day Series with one race day each month starting in May and running through September. • OYRA: nine fully crewed ocean races this year, and a shorthanded division. • Wooden Boat Series: a full schedule of in-the-Bay racing for Bears, Birds, IODs, Folk- boats and Knarrs. You can find information on the different racing series in this publication and on the YRA website, www.yra.org. Also this year we are going completely electronic. All entries will be han- dled through the YRA website using the Jibeset system. We encourage everyone to get a YRA membership and sign up to race. Your membership, support and participation in the YRA helps us do everything we do. And we do a lot: • Administer the local PHRF database; more than 700 certificates were issued in 2012. • Coordinate with the U.S. Coast Guard to process event permits – more than 850 permits in 2012. • Maintain racing buoys in the Bay. • Host the US Sailing Area G Appeals Committee. • Advocate for sailing and racing in the Bay Area. • Offer great racing. As always, we want to thank the YRA member Yacht Clubs and their Race Committees who are sponsoring this year’s YRA Races. We couldn’t do it without you and your support. We know each YRA skipper and crew thanks you as well. Be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook to keep up with all the latest YRA news. You can find us on Twitter at YRAofSFBay and on Facebook at the YRA of SF Bay page! Get those entries in, get your boats and crews prepared, and get out to the start line for every race you’re scheduled to sail.

INNOVATION COMES STANDARD

Newport Bermuda Race Winner Shockwave, with new “Reaching Code 0”

The new generation Doyle Code 0 replaces the standard Code 0 and the A3, doing the job of both sails better.

The sail fl ies with a tighter luff, allowing more aggressive steering and easier sail trim, while advanced fi ber placement within the laminate ensures stable fl ying shape and comparable weight to an A3. Covering an extremely wide range, combined with a unique furling system, the sail’s superior characteristics make it a winner.

Doyle’s innovative engineering capabilities and advanced sail construction techniques continue to develop winning sails for its customers.

To ﬁ nd out how Doyle can help you make the most of your time on the water, call your local Doyle loft or visit doylesails.com.

Use the Autopilot Favored by Singlehanded Racers

For over 40 Years, ALPHA PILOTS Have Delivered the Highest Performance, Reliability and Low Power Consumption These Competitors Demand!

Photo by Robbie Gabriel Overall Winner 2012 Singlehanded TransPac Jim Quanci, after placing 1st Overall in the 2012 Singlehanded TransPac in his Cal 40 Green Buffalo says: "13 days from San Francisco to Hawaii alone, 10 of those days flying the spinnaker in winds up to 32 knots without a round up or a wrap. My Alpha Spectra autopilot drove the whole way – and then drove the boat another 16 days taking us home. What more can one ask for? I just love my Alpha Spectra autopilot." Why buy an Alpha Autopilot? We'll make your boating more fun!

2013 YRA Calendar • Latitude 38 • Page 53 2013 YRA PARTY CIRCUIT

Three great regattas plus a bonus race!

Welcome to the 7th year of the YRA PC Series! This great series gives you three weekend regattas plus an additional race day in June! The PC Series consists of the three marquee YRA events – the Great Vallejo Race, sponsored by the Vallejo Yacht Club, the 2nd Half Opener, sponsored by Encinal Yacht Club, and the Season Closer, sponsored by Corinthian Yacht Club. Each weekend regatta features a long distance race on Saturday, a party at the hosting club Saturday night and a shorter race on Sunday. The Summer Sailstice Regatta, hosted by South Beach Yacht Club, is a one-day race only and is part of the global holiday of Summer Sailstice. The after-party for the Summer Sailstice race is hosted by Encinal Yacht Club. The Summer Sailstice after-party is actually the Summer Sailstice San Francisco Festival, guided by a committee of sailing organizations and busi- nesses. It’s Northern California’s largest on-the-water celebration for everyone who loves harnessing wind, water, sun and sails to power their fun! You can get more information on the Summer Sailstice holiday and the San Francisco Festival at Encinal Yacht Club online at the Summer Sailstice website, www.summersailstice.com.

There will be six divisions for each regatta: PHRF, Sportboat, One-Design, Multihull, Short-Handed and Non-Spinnaker. We’ll then divide up each division into as many fleets as needed to create good racing. WWW.NORCALSAILING.COM The three weekend regattas plus the Summer Sailstice race only cost $150 when you sign up for the entire series. We think the PC Series is the best racing value on the Bay! If you were to sign up for each race individually it would cost you almost $300. You can also sign up for the YRA Series (HDA & ODCA) and add the PC Series for a grand total of only $180 – that gives you 11 race days for about $16 a race. We’re pretty sure that’s hard to beat!

The dates for the 2013 YRA Party Circuit are: • May 4 – The Great Vallejo Race 1, Party Saturday night at Vallejo Yacht Club • May 5 – The Great Vallejo Race 2 • June 22 – The Summer Sailstice Regatta • July 27 – The YRA 2nd Half Opener, Party Saturday night at the Encinal Yacht Club • July 28 – The YRA 2nd Half Opener, Escape To/From Alcatraz Race • October 5 – The YRA Season Closer, Party Saturday night at the Corinthian Yacht Club • October 6 – The YRA Season Closer, the Crazy 8 Race Sign up online at www.yra.org or call the YRA office for more information at (415) 771-9500.

Looking for a new way to entertain your kids this year? Look no further than the Bay Area’s dozens of junior sailing programs. Many offer scholarships, and with rare exception, you don’t need to have your own boat. Unless noted below, club membership is not necessary. High School sailing for students in grades 9-12 takes place around Northern California in the Pacific Coast Interscholastic Sailing Association. If your high school doesn’t have a team – or enough students to field a team – don’t fret. Most programs allow students from several schools to form a single team.

2013 YRA Calendar • Latitude 38 • Page 91 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. Strong winds and freshets, however, bring about non-tidal currents which may modify considerably the speeds and directions shown in the charts. USE OF CHARTS The chart to be used for any spe- cifc time is determined by obtaining FACTORS FOR CORRECTING SPEEDS the difference between the desired MAXIMUM FLOOD MAXIMUM EBB time and the time of the nearest Maximum Flood or Maximum Ebb Predicted speed (knots) Factor Predicted Speed (knots) Factor for the Golden Gate. The chart with 0.5-0.8, multiply by 0.2 0.7-1.1, multiply by 0.2 the title that agrees most nearly with this difference is the one to be used. 0.9-1.1, multiply by 0.3 1.2-1.5, multiply by 0.3 The numbers before or after the 1.2-1.4, multiply by 0.4 1.6-2.0, multiply by 0.4 arrows indicate the 'tropic speed' of 1.5-1.8, multiply by 0.5 2.1-2.4, multiply by 0.5 the current in knots. To determine 1.9-2.1, multiply by 0.6 the actual speed of the current for a 2.5-2.9, multiply by 0.6 particular day and hour, this tropic 2.2-2.4, multiply by 0.7 3.0-3.3, multiply by 0.7 speed is multiplied by the factor 2.5-2.8, multiply by 0.8 3.4-3.8, multiply by 0.8 given in the table to the right, 'Factors for Correcting Speeds'. To 2.9-3.1, multiply by 0.9 3.9-4.2, multiply by 0.9 find the correct 'predicted speed' 3.2-3.4, multiply by 1.0 4.3-4.7, multiply by 1.0 as listed in the table, see 'Weekend Currents' on pages 90 (January- 3.5-3.7, multiply by 1.1 4.8-5.1, multiply by 1.1 June) and 96 (July-December). 3.8-4.1, multiply by 1.2 5.2-5.6, multiply by 1.2 The charts on this page and those that 4.2-4.4, multiply by 1.3 5.7-6.0, multiply by 1.3 follow are from the National Ocean Service, National Oceanic and 4.5-4.7, multiply by 1.4 6.1-6.5, multiply by 1.4 Atmospheric Administration 4.8-5.1, multiply by 1.5 6.6-6.9, multiply by 1.5 of the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Of all the safety equipment on your boat, your VHF radio is probably the most effective ? and essential. Because VHF uses common got zinc frequencies, it’s important to remember a few rules of marine radio etiquette: • Radio checks, which should be per- formed at least every time you leave your slip, boat bottom scrubbing should always be conducted on channel 9, never on channel 16. & more… • Before hailing another station on channel 16, listen for at least one minute before • zinc replacements keying your mic, so as not to “step” on radio traffic that’s already underway. • propeller changes • Speak slowly and pause for at least a minute between hailing attempts. • through hull inspection • Always start on the “low” power setting. • Don’t use the radio if you have non- 415.331.SAIL [email protected] emergency traffic that can be accomplished with a mobile phone. www.gotzinc.com
