USA Qualifies

By Chad

The ISAF world championships in Perth was a huge and competitive event. Eric Storck and Trevor Moore qualified the USA for the Olympics and will be going to the Games in London. They placed ninth at the Worlds and by all accounts were winning the medal race before freakishly shearing a rudder pin. Click Below to read more from their site; http://www.storckmooresailing.com

Welcome


The Skiff Sailing Foundation is a 501c3 publicly supported organization dedicated to the promotion and support of High Performance Sailing with a focus on Skiff classes. Most of our participants already know how to sail and many have been successful in other types of sailing. Others have never been on a boat before. Our organization aims to increase the popularity and accessibility of the sport.


SSBD 2012

Richmond Yacht Club's Sail a Small Boat Day was fun this year. A patch of breeze hung over the club and channel all Saturday and allowed for good sailing in lots of different boats. A 9 year old named Will claims to have had the best day of his life sailing an 18 Footer and an I14.

Archie Wins Again

Archie Massey has won his second I14 World Championship with Dan Wilsdon. Archie, a UK citizen spent a couple years living and training in the SF Bay area before moving onto Sydney. He has raced for two years in the Australian 18 Footer's League, also with Dan who is a native of Sydney. They squeaked out a one point victory over Archie's countrymen in a 70 boat event  to claim the title. Congratulations Guys!

29er Sailing at Richmond

The Richmond Yacht Club is an excellent place to sail on San Francisco Bay with superior launching facilities and a club comprised largely of competitive sailors. Junior coach Dan Brandt is a most experienced double-handed racer and is running a Saturday sailing program for the 29ers this winter and spring. If you are local to the Bay Area and would like to participate, please come on down. If you have a 29er that is not being used, consider chartering it out this winter to a junior team!  Most of the 29ers in the RIchmond program are privately owned, but the Yacht club owns one and the Skiff Sailing Foundation four which are available for charter.

Jonny and Charlie Training at Home
