As you've probably figured out from visiting this site that my boys Simon and Henry have competed racing optimist dinghies for several years in San Francisco Bay and beyond. In Spring 2016, our team San Francisco Yacht Club hosted the USODA Team Trials, the most important qualifier for Team USA. You have to qualify to race at team trials so these are only the best young sailors in the country.
I created this site for the event and it was a huge success. Great wind conditions and great racing ending with a double rainbow of Angel Island during the award ceremony.
This website sprung up from a small community group here in Alameda. I created the website in Drupal 6 back in 2009 as a campaign took shape to develop Alameda Point, a huge parcel of land in central San Francisco Bay that was, until the mid-90's, a massive Naval Air Station.... which apparently my Uncle Bob Boeger served at back in the day. Rumor has it that his ol' bar stool still exists!
