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.

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.

  • Australia's Hamilton Island Yacht Club Confirmed As Challenger Of
    GOLDEN GATE YACHT CLUB 1 Yacht Road – On the Marina San Francisco, California USA 94123 Australia’s Hamilton Island Yacht Club Confirmed as Challenger of Record for 35th America’s Cup San Francisco (September 30, 2013) – Hamilton Island Yacht Club (HIYC), located on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia, has challenged for the 35th America’s Cup. HIYC’s challenge has been accepted by the Golden Gate Yacht Club, which remains the Defender and Trustee of the world’s oldest international sporting trophy after its team, ORACLE TEAM USA owned by Larry Ellison, won the 34th America’s Cup in San Francisco last Wednesday. For the past three decades HIYC has run Audi Hamilton Island Race Week, which has become the largest annual regatta in Australia with some 200 offshore yachts competing in recent years. HIYC is led by Australian winemaker and sailing legend Bob Oatley, whose succession of yachts named Wild Oats have dominated ocean racing in Australia for years, including having won six of the last eight Sydney-Hobart races. An Australian team led by Mr. Oatley won the last Admiral’s Cup, widely regarded as the world’s top prize in ocean racing. The challenge was filed by Mr. Oatley and his son, Sandy, on behalf of HIYC shortly after ORACLE TEAM USA won the thrilling deciding final race in the 34th America’s Cup against Emirates Team New Zealand on San Francisco Bay on September 25th. “We are delighted to have Hamilton Island Yacht Club and the Oatley’s leading Australia back into the America’s Cup for the first time since 2000,” said GGYC Vice Commodore and America’s Cup liaison Tom Ehman.

[email protected] In This Issue From the Helm p1-2 Social Committee p2-3 From the Helm Race/Interlakes p4-5 Bonus From the Helm p6-7 Our Annual Regatta Race/Hound Dog p8-9 Race/Mac Wrap-up p10-11 As we rapidly approach the Hound Dog Regatta, I’d like to Misc. Ramblings p12 use my bully pulpit to again invite and implore all of our Nominations Time p13 membership to take part in the weekend’s activities. In my Coast Guard Day p13 mind, the idea of an “annual regatta” is not just the high Coming Events p14 point of any yacht club’s sailing season, but a time-tested Heard ‘Round the Club p14 responsibility in which our club serves to both draw us together as well as welcoming guests from across our region. On the bulkhead of my Tartan 27, Olin, hangs a framed postcard from a very different era that depicts an extremely familiar scene. Most likely produced in the late ‘40s or early ‘50s, it depicts the awards ceremony at the end of a regatta at the Put-In-Bay Yacht Club on Lake Erie. The scene is identical to that of similar occasions that most of us have attended. If you’ll indulge my practice of undergraduate-level art history interpretation, I’ll point out many of the constants that we see to this day.

INTRODUCTION: "THE OLDEST CONTINUOUS TROPHY IN SPORTS" 2 One-hundred and thirty-seven ounces of solid silver, standing over two feet tall, this "One Hundred Guinea Cup" created under the authorization of Queen Victoria in 1848 is physically what is at stake at every America's Cup regatta.3 However, it is the dignity, honor, and national pride that attach to the victor of this cherished objet d'art that have been the desire of the yacht racing community since its creation. 4 Unfortunately, this desire often turns to envy and has driven some to abandon concepts of sportsmanship and operate by "greed, commercialism and zealotry."5 When these prin- ciples clash "the outcome of the case [will be] dictated by elemental legal principles."6 1.

  • Costs and Benefits of Hosting the 34Th America's
    LEGISLATIVE ANALYST REPORT: COSTS AND BENEFITS OF HOSTING THE 34TH AMERICA’S CUP IN SAN FRANCISCO EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The America’s Cup is the premier sailing event in the world. Hosting the 34th America’s Cup in San Francisco, an event reported to be the third largest in all of sports behind the Olympics and the World Cup, would make San Francisco one of only seven cities in the world to have hosted an America’s Cup. In addition to the prestige of such an event, hosting the America’s Cup would also bring significant economic benefits to the region. The Budget and Legislative Analyst wants to make it very clear that the disclosures made in this report, pertaining to the estimated costs and benefits to the City and County of San Francisco, are not for the purpose of determining whether the America’s Cup should be held in San Francisco. We clearly recognize the importance and prestige of hosting such an event in San Francisco. However, it is the responsibility of the Budget and Legislative Analyst to report the facts to the Board of Supervisors. On February 14, 2010, at the 33rd America’s Cup in Valencia, Spain, BMW Oracle, a sailing syndicate (or team) based out of the Golden Gate Yacht Club in San Francisco, defeated the defending syndicate to become the winner of the 33rd America’s Cup. Under the rules governing the America’s Cup, the winner of the America’s Cup is entitled to select the race format, date, and location of the next race.

The Illegally Intercepted! 4 32nd Cup had just ended and it was decided by the closest margin in its 148 year history, with the Swiss team Alinghi, representing the Société Nautique de Genève Yacht Club, successfully defending the Cup by one second. Since then, billionaires Ernesto Bertarelli, head of the Alinghi team, and Larry Ellison, head of the United States’ BMW Oracle Racing team representing the Golden Gate Yacht Club, have made plenty of waves in the courtroom over details of the 33rd Cup. Together, they have waged a legal regatta regarding the correct interpretation of the Cup’s governing document, the Deed of Gift (the “Deed”), which provides, among other items, the rules for selecting the Challenger of Record and venue for the Cup races.

  • GOLDEN GATE YACHT CLUB #1 Yacht Road, San Francisco, California USA 94123
    GOLDEN GATE YACHT CLUB #1 Yacht Road, San Francisco, California USA 94123 Statement New York, NY, April 28, 2009 – At Golden Gate Yacht Club’s request, the Supreme Court of the State of New York today issued an order directing the defender, Société Nautique de Genève, to show cause why it should not be held in contempt of court. SNG has refused to comply with the Court’s April 7, 2009 Order and Judgment concerning the dates for the next America’s Cup match. The court scheduled a hearing for May 14, 2009 at 0930. In early April the New York State Court of Appeals, in a unanimous 6-0 ruling, held that GGYC is the rightful challenger, and that the next match would be in ten months, meaning early February 2010. However, in a letter last week to GGYC, SNG unilaterally dictated that the match would be in May 2010 in defiance of the Court’s April 7 Order and Judgment. SNG and Alinghi officials also made the same statements widely in the media. “By forcing litigation over our rightful challenge, they have already managed to delay the match from July 2008 to February 2010,” said GGYC spokesman Tom Ehman. “Now they seek another three-month delay, in defiance of the Court’s clear mandate. Enough is enough.” At a meeting with SNG representatives in Geneva last week, GGYC’s straight- forward proposal for a conventional, multi-challenger America’s Cup in monohulls was categorically rejected by SNG. # # # Editor’s Note: For additional background, please go to www.ggyc.com.
