(March 24-28, 2008) This summer, the American Sailing League kicks off its inaugural Championship Series at PIER 39 on San Francisco Bay. Racing will take place over two weekends, with teams competing just off pier’s end in 18 foot skiffs. With the typically strong bay breeze, expect the races to blend the athletic skill and daring of the X-Games with the breakneck speed and spectacular wipeouts of NASCAR.
