THE YRA WELCOMES YOU TO THE 2014 RACING SEASON
Welcome to the YRA’s 2014 Racing Season! As always, we’ve got racing opportunities for
everyone, whether you sail a multihull, classic woody or one design boat, sail on the ocean or
under PHRF in the Bay.
For 2014, the YRA Racing Season offers four different racing options:
• Party Circuit: includes our three marquee weekend regattas as well as the Westpoint
Regatta.
• YRA Series: a four-day series with one race day each month starting in May and running
through September.
• OYRA: nine fully crewed ocean races this year, and a division for shorthanded crews.
• Wooden Boat Series: a full schedule of in-the-Bay racing for Bears, Birds, IODs, Folk-
boats and Knarrs.
You can find information on the different racing series in this publication and on the YRA
website at www.yra.org.
The Racer Socials that we started in 2013 will continue. We’re planning on at least three this
year with potential topics ranging from a USCG view of the Bay (and racers) to Bay Currents to
Rigging. If you have a topic you think we should cover, please let us know.
We encourage everyone to get a YRA membership and sign up to race. Your membership
support and participation in the YRA goes to help us do everything we do. And we do a lot:
• Administer the local PHRF database; more
than 700 certificates were issued in 2013.
ROXANNE FAIRBAIRN / WWW.roxshots.smugmug.com
• Coordinate with the U.S. Coast Guard to pro-
cess event permits – more than 900 permits in
2013.
• Maintain racing buoys in the Bay.
• Host the US Sailing Area G Appeals Committee.
• Advocate for sailing and racing in the Bay Area.
• Offer great racing.
As always, we want to thank the YRA Mem-
ber Yacht Clubs and their Race Committees
that 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 prepped, and get out to the start line for every
race you’re scheduled to sail.
Fair winds to all,

MXL SNATCH RINGS
Optimal Weight To Working Load Ratio
MXL soft blocks are ideal for applications where lines are under heavy
semi-static loads. Featuring higher working loads than standard blocks of
the same size, the MXL improves onboard performance. Used as a snatch
block, it can be easily installed and removed in a few seconds. It is also a
great product to keep as a spare for any emergency situation.
