Dixie 6 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Watch this thread for reports from anarchists on the 3BF racecourse in San Francisco Bay... The Three Bridge Fiasco has some incredible rules, ones that could drive most race committees and any novice racer up a wall. The salty sailors of San Francisco seem to love this race and basically everyone who sails will be there. With 359 boats registered, a starting line that goes either way, no set course and a finish line that also goes either way, the name of the race - Fiasco - seems comparatively mundane. The Three Bridges and associated marks are: Golden Gate (Blackaller Buoy) Bay Bridge (Treasure Island) and Richmond-San Rafael (Red Rock) and can be rounded in either direction. War Dog started an anarchy fleet a few years ago - An Unofficial Anarchy Fleet he calls it, and is now up to 40 boats full of anarchists. Well not so full - this is a D/H or S/H race. In heavy air it would be a bear for two people to sail some of these boats around this 21 mile course with a heavy afternoon ebb tide, but this year's 3BF looks like it could be a drifter. If the wind picks up, some of the folks who've been planning their course all week may change it from Counter Clockwise (Treasure Island, Red Rock, Blackaller) to Clockwise. Either way, the SAers are not just racing for fame and glory, but also for Rum and Tequila, along with some SA and H20 Shots swag. This fun race has more participation than most sailing bodies of water ever see...something to think about if you're trying to get the boats out in your lake or bay. For those of you on course who want to send in reports - have at it. Clean, Photoboy and I have cobbled together a little plan and I am going to be out on with H2O Shots' Photoboy on his 20' red rib starting in the mid morning near TI and will send in reports from my Blackberry. You can call or write me, and we'll also be monitoring the "Unofficial" SA channel 72. Clean's gonna help with the posting. Good luck y'all.

MR.CLEAN 4,011 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 excellent! Don't forget that photoboy has offered an H20Shots t-shirt to the first three anarchists to show him a legible sign that says "Yankees S*ck" or "F*uck the D*dgers" on the water so he can shoot it.

JaySea 1 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Watch this thread for reports from anarchists on the 3BF racecourse in San Francisco Bay... Great write up Dixie, I'll be on the Got Wind and Water Photo Boat (no, we aren't competing with PhotoBoy, we have a different agenda). This Photo Boat is a Green Tartan 4600 named 'Gokuraku'. I'll have my netbook computer with me, will be monitoring channel 72 - I'm hoping to be able to get online while passing through Raccoon Straits and will attempt to upload a photo of the 359 boats drifting around the starting line for all the SA'ers who will not be sailing in the race. I'm also going to attempt a shot of boats getting around the Blackaller (clockwise) with the Golden Gate in the background.

Then go back under the BB again then heading N toward Red Rock. Everyone on the Moores is getting their poles out ready for a down hill run.

MR.CLEAN 4,011 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 From Valis via Dixie: In an incredible moment of strategic insight, we decided to loiter by the start line an extra 45 minutes, pretending we were going to foul anybody on starboard. Clearing the pin by a mere 2 inches, we abandoned our initial plan and headed for red rock since we believe it is warmer there. Wind is about 8 knots and Jeff beck is playing.

MR.CLEAN 4,011 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Deep6 is on twist. The boat sorta stopped just under the western span of the BB.

They rounded Blackhaller at 1125 and are heading North to Red Rock sailing along with several Moores and Express 27s.

MR.CLEAN 4,011 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Just stopped by Yucca - its one of 150 8 Meters ever made. Hank said he's had it for about 89 years and his crew said he's been sailing on it for 44. Gorgeous boat. There are also a LOT of boats - as in 30 to 40 - who seem to be stuck up by Blackaller. The crew who rounded TI first know their lives must suck. Still light here - maybe lighter. The biggest part of the ebb is still ahead. That's when the Red Rock river switches on. Most of the boats seem to be doing TI RR BH route. A few are going clockwise and are pretty close to RR. Link to post Share on other sites
MR.CLEAN 4,011 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 From Dixie: We are coming up on Ay Caliente now who are going the other way - heading from RR going to TI. Not sure if they already rounded BH but my guess in No. So crazy to see boats racing in totally opposite directions int he same race. Just talked to Tinkerer 007 on Samba. They rounded RR first with they think about 20 or 30 other boats. On their way to TI now. Link to post Share on other sites

Drifting wing and wing toward Red Rock. We are now enjoying adult beverages and talking about Spinner Island. From Valis: Rounding red rock with three thousand spinnakers heading our way. Umm, now we have to go upwind? Just heard from Layla on 72. They have just rounded BH and TI heading over to RR. War Dog heard this and said "didn't you know you were supposed to go clockwise?"

Passed a bunch of boats going around ti the other way, not sure how that worked, they must have done blackaller first and excaped that parking lot. We still have todo blackaller thanks to our unique crisscross strategy. Not many boats went the way we did, at least ones that started 45 minutes late that is.

Dixie 6 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 I can't believe there are still 23 people watching this thread! I'm thirsty and am gonna head down to the StFYC for a drink.
