San Francisco Speed Sailing Management will begin a new annual sailing occasion on San Francisco Bay June 15-18, 2006, The San Francisco Speed Sailing Event. Predictable to draw windsurfers, kite surfers, skiff sailors as well as mono and multi hull sailors from all over the US, the Event offers rate sailors a unique chance to officially proof and document excessive sailing as it exists on a daily basis in one of the best international sailing venues, San Francisco Bay.
The concept is simple: to go as fast as you can with your sail powered watercraft, straight line sailing through a 500 metre course (about one third of a mile), racing against the clock and the elements. Consider that at a speed of 30 knots, it would take a vessel approximately 30 seconds to cover 500 metres - in a word, FAST.
