NorCal #5
The Appleton Regatta
San Francisco Yacht Club
March 9-10, 2002

Final Results

NorCal regatta # 5 (the Appleton Regatta) was sailed at The San Francisco Yacht Club on the weekend of March 9 and 10. 18 teams participated. The winning team was University High School (San Francisco), followed by Marin Catholic HS (Kentfield, CA) and Redwood HS (Larkspur, CA). 6 races were sailed on Saturday, with variable conditions. A small storm front rolled through San Francisco Bay, so winds ranged from 5 knots to 20 knots, with some higher gusts and oscillations in the breeze. By mid-afternoon there was a 4.5 knot ebb tide, adding an element of challenge to the sailing tactics. After a very rainy Saturday night, Sunday dawned clear and sunny. Through most of Sunday's 4 races the breeze was consistently 8 - 10 knots with minor oscillations. Tide remained a factor, but was less important on Sunday than on Saturday.

Partially in response to the comments posted to the PCISA list, judges were on the water both days. At the competitors meeting on both Saturday and Sunday mornings the Race Committee and the Judges stressed the importance of avoiding collisions, and the necessity of protesting and/or exoneration when there is contact between boats. The Race Committee and Judges (and, undoubtedly, the boat owners) would like to compliment the sailors for their racing skills in this regatta. It was clear that they took to heart the concerns expressed, because mark roundings were generally very clean, with boats looking for opportunities to round cleanly rather than attempting to jam their bows into spaces where there was no room.
