Richard and Stephen (Cal 20) tow Erik and Merrick (Wylie Wabbit) out to the starting area of the Berkeley Midwinters on Sunday, January 11. The Berkeley Circle had surprisingly nice breeze, enough for a pleasant twice-around windward-leeward course in a fading ebb. The upwind legs were mostly one-tack beats; the downwind legs were headstay reaches. See complete results from Saturday and Sunday on Jibeset. ©2026 norcalsailing.com

Coming Up

The 2027 Singlehanded Transpacific Yacht Race to Hanalei Bay, Kauai, is still almost a year away, but six boats already signed up as of August 2026. Mark your calendars for the start date of June 26, 2027. Registration is now open for next year's Transpac Race from Los Angeles to Honolulu, starting the week of July 6, 2027.

The next 2026 race for the SSS is the Drake's Bay Race on August 22-23, with an anchor-out on the Saturday night. The Yacht Racing Association will also be doing the Drake's Bay Race, and, yes, it's possible to be counted in both versions. See www.jibeset.net for both the YRA and SSS. Registration is now closed, and AIS is required.

Additional YRA races coming up include Sequoia YC's Rock the Boat women's regatta on August 22 and the Doublehanded Series Bonita Blitz on August 23.

The Jazz Cup is the premier Labor Day Weekend regatta. It started as a challenge between South Beach YC and the destination, Benicia YC, but it's open to everyone. This year's race will be on Saturday, September 5, with a big party and live bands to follow in Benicia. See www.regattanetwork.com/event/31505 for info and registration.

Latitude 38's Calendar has a pretty comprehensive list of beer can series going on around Northern California.
