Doing the double around the Farallones

The 2015 Northern California offshore racing season got off to a stellar start on March 28 with 36th annual Doublehanded Farallones Race being contested with clear skies, lumpy seas and brisk winds offshore. From the start inside San Francisco Bay alongside the Golden Gate Yacht Club, the fleet heads out to see to and around the Southeast Farallone Island, leaving it to port, and then to the finish. The distance of the course over ground is approximately 58 nautical miles. Full report.
