St. Francis Intersectional St. Francis Yacht Club & Stanford University
San Francisco, CA April 2-3, 2011 Saturday: Racing started on time at 1100, with a light westerly building to 10-13 knots around 1430. A strong ebb dominated the first sets, switching to an equally strong flood as the breeze died down later in the afternoon. A-Division, dominated by Cal Maritime skipper Sean Kelly and crew Jessica Schember, completed five races. B-Division sailed four races, ending the day in a close-tie between Stanford (12 points) and University of South Florida (13 points). Sunday: Day 2 started off very un-San Francisco, easterly winds at 5 knots. Unfortunately the wind died before a race could be started in the weakening easterly. At noon, the classic San Francisco westerly rolled in from under the Golden Gate Bridge and the racing was on. 3 A races and 4 B races were completed in 10-15 knots of breeze. The current on the course was a major factor as it was went from a strong ebb tide to a strong flood tide in the middle of the day. The racing was very tight and South Florida held off a hard charging Cal Maritime team for the win. Congratulations to South Florida for winning the 19th Annual St. Francis Intersectional! One protest was heard, resulting in a DSQ. All boats were asked to put the letters "D B" on their sails in honor of David Blackett. David was a UC San Diego sailor who recently passed away. Special thanks to Regatta Chair Shannon Bonds, Principal Race Officer Harrison Turner, and Jury Chair Bryan McDonald for their hard work this weekend.
