The race committee put together a full schedule for today including all 3 disciplines (course racing, freestyle, and slalom). Here are a few of the action shots. Click on any of the photos below to see the full gallery for the event.
After reviewing the thousands of photos I shot over all five days of the event, I’ve selected more than 500 images worthy of posting to the US Windsurfing Nationals photo gallery. It takes more time in front of the computer that it originally did to shoot all the photos. The photos are all categorized by sailors’ names, sail numbers, sail manufacturer, day, event type (formula, slalom, long distance, freestyle, juniors). Look under the photos for the list of keywords. Clicking on any of the keywords will filter the images that are displayed.
I have tons more photos so if you don’t see what you are looking for, please email me and I will go back and look through my archive.
Long distance and slalom racing were the order of the day today. I hiked up to the Golden Gate Bridge to get an overhead view of the race. Phil McGain (KA7) was fastest on the trip down to Treasure Island and back and finished in first place.
The second day of racing brought more foggy weather, but wind enough to get in three races.
After a full day on the water and 4 races, I’ve racked up a lot of photos. The upload process has started so check out the windsurfing photos posted so far. Here are a couple to entice you…
See you on the water tomorrow!
Here are a few photos from the womens sevens rugby national championships that were held last weekend on Treasure Island. They’ve build up an awesome facility on the island with 6 pitches, a clubhouse and more.

Today’s racing at College Sailing Nationals was the Women’s semi finals. Teams were competing for 9 spots in the finals taking place later this week. The day started with racing on the B course to offer some protection from the flooding current. Racing in the afternoon was on the A course just off the yacht club.
The on-site practice has already begun as the college teams prepare for several weeks of competition at St. Francis Yacht Club. The action kicks off with the Womens’ National Championship on May 25th – May 27th. Then on June 1st – June 3rd the Coed National Championship takes place. Check below for a list of all the teams scheduled to compete.
