San Francisco Bay is one of the premiere sailing venues in the world. It is difficut to
describe a day of sailing with a fog bank hanging over the Golden Gate Bridge and clear
views of the San Francisco Skyline, Alcatraz Island, Angel Island and the Marin Headlands.
A consistent seabreeze throughout the summer keeps the area temperate and provides predictible
wind conditions.

For the SCIRA USA Junior National Championship Regatta, SCIRA USA Special Junior National
Championship and the SCIRA USA National Championship Regatta the racecourse will be located
on waters of San Francisco Bay adjacent to Richmond Yacht Club. The primary sailing area
will be directly South of the Richmond Yacht Club harbor. If conditions on that course are
unsailable in the opinion of the SCIRA Rep, then the secondary sailing area in Keller Cove
will be used.
