2020-05-30 19:48:25 - Race Proposal for 2020 Windjammer -San Francisco to Santa Cruz
Day long drag Race Down the Pacific Coast from San Francisco to Santa Cruz, CA Longest Running Yacht Race on West Coast, but won't be held this year due to COVID-19.

This would be a great way to honor the tradition.

I proposed Santa Cruz 27's since I've found polars, but Moore 24's, Merlin, SC70's, SC50's, or SC52's (as follow up to Socal300) or any good Santa Cruz Surf Machines would be fun.

Race is usually held around first Friday of September, but any date this year would be good. Wind is best before October.

Thanks for considering.

Santa Cruz 27 polar attached.

Racing the SC27's v. the Moore 24's boat for boat in this race would be an interesting option if we could find Moore 24 polars. The 27's rate a bit faster under PHRF, but the Moore's get up and surf a bit sooner which would be an advantage under usual conditions.

Also a polar for SC72 (?) can be found here;

Checking with Bill Lee to see if he has polars for any of the other Santa Cruz boats.
