Welcome to the YRA’s 2012 Racing Season! As always, we’ve got racing opportunities for ev-eryone, whether you sail a multihull, a classic woody or a one design boat, sail on the ocean or under PHRF in the Bay.
For 2012, the YRA Racing Season offers four different racing options. There is the Party Cir-cuit, which includes our three marquee weekend regattas as well as the Summer Sailstice race. The YRA Series is a six-race, four-day series with one race each month starting in June and running through September. OYRA offers nine ocean races and includes a “Pac Cup Prep Se-ries” this year. The Wooden Boat Series has a full schedule of Bay racing for Bears, Birds, IODs, Folkboats and Knarrs. You can find out more information on the different racing series right here in this publication and on the YRA website, www.yra.org.
We encourage everyone to get a YRA membership and sign up to race. Your membership support and participation in the YRA helps us to do everything we do. And we do a lot! Besides
offering great racing, the YRA administers the local PHRF. More than 700 boats received cer-tificates in 2011 through the YRA, which makes us one of the most active sailing areas in the country. We also serve as the local liaison to the U.S. Coast Guard, handle the coordinating and processing of over 950 marine events, maintain racing buoys, and host the US Sailing Area G Appeals Committee, just to name a few of things that keep us busy. In all we do, the YRA acts as an advocate for sailing on the Bay.
As always, we want to thank the YRA mem-ber Yacht Clubs and their Race Committees who are sponsoring this year’s YRA races. We couldn’t do it without you and your support. We know each YRA skipper and crew thanks you as well.
Be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook to keep up with all the latest YRA news. You can find us on Twitter at YRAofSFBay and on Facebook at the YRA of SF Bay page!
Get those entries in, get your boats and crews prepared, and get out to the start line for ev-ery race you’re scheduled to sail.
Fair winds to all,
Gerry Brown, YRA Chairman of the Board Laura Paul-Muñoz, YRA Executive Director Yacht Racing Association of San Francisco Bay 1070 Marina Village Pkwy., #202-G Alameda, CA 94501 Phone (415) 771-9500 • Fax (415) 276-2378 [email protected] • www.yra.org

IT’S TIME FOR ALL OF US TO TURN OVER A NEW ONE.
Turning over a new leaf has never been easier, or more satisfying. With Pettit’s Ultima ECO,
boaters can indulge their environmentally friendly side while still enjoying the benefits of
aggressive, multi-season protection against fouling and slime. With 50% more Econea
biocide than its closest competitor, Ultima ECO is the only multi-season bottom paint to offer
a true alternative to copper. Unbeatable protection. A smaller environmental footprint. Isn’t it
time you turned over a new leaf?
IT’S TIME FOR A POWERFUL, NEW ANTIFOULING THAT IS TRULY CLEAN, GREEN AND COPPER-FREE.

AMERICA’S CuP
The America’s Cup is the oldest trophy in sports, and come 2013 it will have a new venue — San Francisco Bay. While very much a work in progress, the 34th America’s Cup is already in full swing, with racing in the America’s Cup World Series already begun. Below are some key dates to keep in mind, plus a few of the frequently asked questions about the Cup. A more complete version of the FAQs, as well as all of Latitude 38’s Cup-related articles from ‘Lectronic Latitude, are available on the Latitude 38 website at www.latitude38.com/features/ac34.html.
When is the America’s Cup?
The Louis Vuitton Cup — the series of races that determines which challenger gets the right to meet defender Oracle Racing in the America’s Cup match — will run from July 13 to September 1, 2013. The America’s Cup itself will run from from September 7 to September 22, 2013.
What is the AC World Series?
The America’s Cup World Series is a series of regattas sailed in one design AC 45 cata-marans, that leads up to the main event in August 2013. Events have already been held in Cascais, Portugal, Plymouth, England, and San Diego, California. In 2012, there will be five AC World Series Events. The first will be in Naples, Italy, on April 7-15. The second will be in Venice, Italy, May 12-20. The third will be in Newport, Rhode Island, from June 23 to July 1. The fourth and fifth will be on San Francisco Bay August 11-19 and August 27 to September 2 respectively. After that the series returns to Italy: in Venice April 13-21, 2013, and Naples May 11-19, 2013.
What kind of boats will the Cup be sailed in?
The 34th America’s Cup will be sailed in 72-ft catamarans called AC 72s.
What are the specs on the AC 72s and who is building them?
The AC 72s will be 72-ft long catamarans that are 45 feet wide, carrying wing masts that are 130 feet tall. The minimum weight is 6.5 tons. The hulls and beams are required to be built in the country of the challenging yacht club, but everything else can be built anywhere. On a reach, the boats could tickle 40 knots of boatspeed; upwind, their VMG will be in the 14- to 15-knot range.
When will the AC 72s be launched?
Originally, the first America’s Cup World Series event on San Francisco Bay in August of next year was to mark the debut of the AC 72s, but that has changed, and now the 72s and their 11-man crews won’t come into play until the Louis Vuitton Cup.
How many teams will there be?
Eight teams are currently signed up for the America’s Cup World Series, in addition to the defender Oracle Racing, although it is ex-pected that only four will make it to the point of building an AC 72.

MINIMUM EQUIPMENT LISTThe following equipment shall be required for all
yachts racing in YRA events.
1. USCG-approved life jackets for each member of the crew. If the ‘Y’ flag is displayed, USCG-approved life jackets shall be worn while racing.
2. One horseshoe life ring or 18-inch diameter USCG-approved ring buoy.
3. USCG-approved (or equivalent) fire extinguisher as required by USCG rules, readily accessible.
4. One manually-operated bilge pump.
5. One suitable anchor and cable.
6. Fog horn.
7. Marine compass.
8. Suitable charts for piloting.
Please be aware that boats must comply with the ISAF Offshore Special Regulations, including OYRA Prescriptions, for Category 2 Monohulls (the OYRA MEL) to participate in YRA Ocean Races. Sailors enter-
ing the OYRA Season, or any individual OYRA Race, must submit a Boat/Crew Information and Statement of Compliance Sheet by 5:00 p.m. the Thursday before each ocean race. You can download the Boat/Crew In-formation and Statement of Compliance Sheet from the YRA website at www.yra.org/OYRA/ocean_safety.html.
Contestants are reminded that conditions on San Francisco Bay are quite unpredictable, and winds in excess of 30 knots are not uncommon. The US Sailing rules state: “It shall be the sole responsibility of each yacht to decide whether or not to start or continue the race.”
We would further remind all sailors that, as pro-vided in US Sailing rules: “Every yacht shall render all possible assistance to any vessel or person in peril, when in a position to do so.” We will trust that all contestants will do everything in their power to make our sport of yacht racing as safe as it has been in the past. Note that 406 EPIRBs are required equipment
on OYRA races and many other ocean races!

RULESLatitude 38’s Basic Racing Guidelines
It’s not written in any rule book, but, since sailboat racing is a recreational sport, we think the number one rule should be to have fun. Beyond that, some basic guidelines help pre-vent collisions and ensure that racing is both fun and fair. Below is an outline of the ten basic rules which cover most racing situations. For completeness and total accuracy, refer to Rac-ing Rules of Sailing 2009-2012, published by US Sailing. See www.ussailing.org/rules for details.
1. If boats are on the same tack, and overlapped, the windward boat must keep clear of the boat to leeward.
2. Port tack keep clear of starboard tack.
3. If boats are on the same tack, a boat clear astern must keep clear of a boat clear ahead.
4. When tacking or jibing, keep clear of boats on a tack.5. Avoid collisions. If you have the right of way and hit
the other boat, causing serious damage, you both will be penalized.
6. Don’t obstruct. Don’t make it hard for the ‘keep clear’ boat to do so. (No hunting allowed.)
7. Sail the course prescribed. You have to round the marks in the directions specified in the sailing instruc-tions and can’t touch a mark.
8. Proper Course (same tack, within two hull lengths). If the leeward boat came from astern, leeward boat shall not sail above its own proper course during the overlap. (Remember that windward boat still has to keep clear, even if windward is forced above what it believes is windward’s proper course.)
9. Give room at marks and obstructions to yachts overlapped on the inside, except: a. When the overlap did not exist before the lead boat reaches the three-boatlength zone. b. To ‘bargers’ at the start except to avoid collision (then protest).
10. Acknowledge your fouls and protest those who don’t.
A free rule book comes with US Sailing membership. See www.ussailing.org.

2012 YRA PARTY CIRCUIT
Three great regattas and a bonus race!
Welcome to the sixth year of the YRA PC Series! New this year we’ve added the Summer Sailstice race to the line-up, giving you three great weekend regattas plus an additional race day in June! The PC Series consists of the three marquee YRA events – the Great Vallejo Race, sponsored by Vallejo Yacht Club, the 2nd Half Opener, sponsored by Encinal Yacht Club, and the Season Closer, sponsored by Corinthian Yacht Club. Each weekend regatta features a long distance race on Saturday, a party at the hosting club Saturday night, and a shorter race on Sunday.
The Summer Sailstice Regatta, run by South Beach Yacht Club, is a one-day race only, part of the global holiday of Summer Sailstice. The after-party for the Summer Sailstice race is hosted by Encinal Yacht Club and is actually the Summer Sailstice San Francisco Festival, guided by an organizing committee of sailing organizations and businesses. It’s Northern California’s largest on-the-water celebration for everyone who loves harnessing wind, water, sun and sails to power their fun. You can get more information on the Summer Sailstice holiday and the San Francisco Festival at Encinal Yacht Club online at www.summersailstice.com/sf.
There will be six divisions for each regatta: PHRF, Sportboat, One-Design, Multihull, Short-Handed and Non-Spinnaker. We’ll then divide up each division into as many fleets as needed to create good racing.
You get the three regattas plus the Summer Sailstice race for the same $150 fee. We still think the PC Series is the best racing value on the Bay. You can also sign up for the YRA Series (HDA and ODCA) and add the PC Series for a grand total of only $180 – that gives you 11 race days for about $16 a race. We’re pretty sure that’s hard to beat!
The dates for the 2012 YRA Party Circuit are:

YACHTING YOUTHLooking for a new way to entertain your kids
this year? Look no further than the Bay Area’s dozens of junior sailing programs. Many of-fer scholarships, and with rare exception, you don’t need to have your own boat. Unless noted below, club membership is not necessary. High school sailing for students in grades 9-12 takes place around Northern California in the Pacific Coast Interscholastic Sailing Association. If your high school doesn’t have a team – or enough students to field a team – don’t fret. Most pro-grams allow students from several schools to form a single team.

2012 RACE SCHEDULE
www.sausalitoyachtclub.org/racing
The SYC offers excellent racing off the scenic Marin Headlands adjacent to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. The warm club atmosphere provides a great location for after race bragging or complaining. The bar and galley are open after all the races.
• Twin Island Series: Three races around Alcatraz and Angel Island on April 28, July 21 and October 13. (You choose your direction around the islands…)
• Sunset Series: Ten Spring and Summer races on alternate Tuesday nights to set aside work pressures for mid-week competition. The Spring Series starts May 1 and the Summer Series starts July 24.
• Rear Commodore’s Race: A 20 mile race/cruise to Vallejo Yacht Club on June 30. This is usually a great downwind race with an excellent party and dinner afterward.
• Women Skippers Regatta: Three races on April 14 for women as skipper. “No man may touch the wheel!”
• Midwinters Series: Five races on the first Sunday of the month from November through March. (2nd Sunday in January in 2012.)

TIDAL CURReNT ChARTSAN FRANCISCO BAy
TIDAL CURReNT ChARTSAN FRANCISCO BAy
These current charts show direction and speed of the tidal current for each hour of current at the San Francisco Bay entrance. The charts depict the flow of tidal currents under normal weather conditions. Strong winds and freshets, however, bring about non-tidal currents which may modify considerably the speeds and directions shown in the charts.
USE OF CHARTS
The chart to be used for any spe-cific time is determined by obtaining the difference between the desired time and the time of the nearest Maximum Flood or Maximum Ebb for the Golden Gate. The chart with the title that agrees most nearly with this difference is the one to be used.
The numbers before or after the arrows indicate the 'tropic speed' of the current in knots. To determine the actual speed of the current for a particular day and hour, this tropic speed is multiplied by the factor given in the table to the right, 'Factors for Correcting Speeds'. To find the correct 'predicted speed' as listed in the table, see 'Weekend Currents' on pages 90 (January-June) and 96 (July-December).

Of all the safety equipment on your boat, your VHF radio is probably the most effective and essential. Because VHF uses common frequencies, it’s important to remember a few rules of marine radio etiquette:
• Radio checks, which should be per-formed at least every time you leave your slip, should always be conducted on channel 9, never on channel 16.
• Before hailing another station on chan-nel 16, listen for at least one minute before keying your mic, so as not to “step” on radio traffic that’s already underway.
• Speak slowly and pause for at least a minute between hailing attempts.
• Always start on the “low” power setting.
• Don’t use the radio if you have non-emergency traffic that can be accomplished with a mobile phone.
