teerok, have you sailed candlestick? it's a fun place to sail, and it will be one of the few places that gets wind toward the tail end of our season.
Looks like we're neighbors in the Sunset! |
No sir...haven't sailed anywhere in the bay or the delta yet.
Starting to get back into sailing after a 15 year hiatus...seeing you all out there is really inspiring. I still have my 8' 8" Seatrend, but no rig components, so I may be a spectator until I buy some new (used) gear.
When I last sailed in real wind, I was 100% waterstarting and making about 25% nice carve jibes. Maybe 50% on a good day....but this was on Floras Lake, which has a very low intimidation factor, even when it's blowing 35+ kts. So while not really a beginner, I do need to ease into Bay sailing and confirm my skills and comfort level.
Soon, hopefully

Stick's a little too flat to keep me engaged as a regular, BUT:
1. makes for screaming jibes due to less chop
2. longer season than most spots
3. unlike 3rd/Coyote, can handle a little SW flow without dying
4. one of few places to blow when it's hot
5. one of few if any places that sails better on a on a flood
Under certain conditions, you could do a lot worse; at other times, you can't do better.
