 Summer Sailstice |
Summer Sailstice Rally Wow! What a great day on the water. Five Islander 36s gathered at the Bay Bridge for the Summer Sailstice Rally, and we even saw a 6th sailing through Racoon Strait. The wind gods were gentle on us, but played their own trick as this ws the first tiime in the Rally's 6 year history that we had to beat to windward to get around Angel Island. Not just "a long and a short," but up to 5 tacks against a northerly component, and a building flood tide pushing us east. Follow the link to see the results and lots of great pictures.

 Vallejo Race |
Vallejo Race 5/2-3/26 It was a speedy, if cool Great Vallejo Race with 5 wonderful Islander 36s on the starting line. Windwalker took first in the Spinnaker division both ways, and Windcatcher did the same in Non-Spinnaker. Here are the stories and pics from Kapai, Luna Sea, and Bella Luna: Vallejo Race 5/2-3/26 |
 Giants Game 4/25/26 |
Giants Game, McCovey Cove 4/25/26 We had a good day at the Giants game, Saturday, April 25th, as Zenith and Windcatcher turned up. Zenith before start of the game so we anchored in a good spot. Dan on Windcatcher showed up after he finished a race and tested our ground tackle as we rafted up. Zenith was shown on TV more than once as Joanne is a Jung Hoo Lee fan and had made a sign. And the good part is that the Giants won 6-2 over the Miami Marlins. Here are some pics: Giants Game 4/25/26 |
 Presidio YC Paris dinner |
Presidio YC Paris Dinner 4/11/26 30 knots of wind and feet of snow in the Sierras didn't stop a dozen of your Islander fleet members for showing up for Presidio Yacht Club's Paris Dinner. Though nobody sailed in, and Rich & Takae from Tacoma Blue and Jim Mullarkey of ex-Kindred Sprits didn't make it, Bella Luna, Kapai, Maggio, Vanishing Animal, White Horses and Zenith were all represented. Here are some pics: Paris Dinner at Presidio YC |
 Giants Game 3/27/26 |
Giants Game, McCovey Cove 3/27/26 It all started when Dan Throop of WindCatcher emailed the fleet that he was thinking of heading for McCovey Cove and anchor out for the first Giants day game of the 2026 season. Kerry Scott chimed in that Cali would be there. Then Bob DaPrato recruited Rob Blenderman of White Horses to help sail Bella Luna to the party. Here are some pics: Giants Game 3/27/26 |
 Spring Meeting |
Spring Meeting at Encinal YC 2/28/26 We had five Islanders tied up at the Encinal docks: Blondie, Kevin Cerini, Luna Sea, Dan Knox, Kapai, Rick Egan, Windcatcher, Dan Throop, and Zenith, Anthony Taylor. It was great to see so many Islanders all together. Spring Meeting 2/28/26 |
 3 BR Fiasco |
3 Bridge Fiasco 1-31-26 We got lucky with a nice day for the five great Islanders - Bella Luna, Cassiopeia, Kapai, Luna Sea and WindCatcher - that participated in this year's Three Bridge Fiasco race on January 31st. The race is divided into Double Handed and Single Handed sections, and further broken down by Spinnaker and Non-Spinnaker entries. Luna Sea entered as DH Spinnaker, with Bella Luna, Cassiopeis and Kapai in DH Non-Spinnaker, and superstar Dan Throop entering WindCatcher in the SH - Non-Spinnaker group. With good winds for the first time in nearly 10 years (!), most of the fleet finished, and Kapai and Luna Sea each took 3rd in their sections. Follow the link to see starting, finishing and elapsed times, plus stories from Kapai and Luna Sea and some pics. 3 Bridge Fiasco 1/31/26 |
