Friday Night Beer Can Racing
Filed in: Sailing Add comments
Occasionally, I run out to Richmond on Friday nights to race sailboats in the Berkeley circle in San Francisco bay. These riday night races are called “Beer can” races. This particular Friday’s race had some really extreme conditions: huge swells and 20 knot winds.
A photographer happened to be out there getting shots of the racers and managed to grab a couple great shots of me and the skipper and owner of the Ultimate 20 I sail on, John Wolfe.

That looks awsome, I have never raced.

It really is a great time! So much more exciting when you are somewhat fearing for your life
