The new generation Doyle Code 0 replaces the standard Code 0 and the A3, doing the job of both sails better.
The sail fl ies with a tighter luff, allowing more aggressive steering and easier sail trim, while advanced fi ber placement within the laminate ensures stable fl ying shape and comparable weight to an A3. Covering an extremely wide range, combined with a unique furling system, the sail’s superior characteristics make it a winner.
Doyle’s innovative engineering capabilities and advanced sail construction techniques continue to develop winning sails for its customers.

AMERICA’S CUP 34
Not only will the 34th America’s Cup com-petition be the most prestigious sailing event ever staged on San Francisco Bay, but it’s sure to be a whole lot of fun for all who turn
out to watch its fast-paced action. As the event’s orga-nizers often point out, never before has an Ameri-ca’s Cup ven-ue provided better viewing opportuni-ties than here in the Bay’s “spectacular
natural amphitheater.” And never before have organizers gone to such extraordinary lengths to make the Cup and its associated activities more appealing to the general public. Below is a quick reference guide to upcoming Cup-related events.
America’s Cup Basics After the Golden Gate YC’s team BMW Ora-cle Racing won America’s Cup 33 in Valencia, Spain (2010), San Francisco was announced as the site for AC 34. The defender (ORACLE TEAM USA), working with the Challenger of Record (Artemis Racing) defined the design parameters for the upcoming competition, ultimately selecting the revolutionary AC72 catamaran design, which will be faster and more physically demanding than any previous AC boat type. Each AC 34 team must build its boat’s hulls in the team’s home country, and, if they choose to, each team may also build a second boat for training purposes. As always, challengers will compete in the Louis Vuitton Cup match-racing elimination series, which is slated to begin in July. The eventual winner will face ORACLE TEAM USA in the America’s Cup 34 Finals, beginning in
early September. There are four official challengers: •EmiratesTeamNewZealand •ArtemisRacing •LunaRossaChallenge2013 •TeamKorea
About the AC72s The use of these 72-ft catamarans will truly bring America’s Cup racing into the realm of ‘extreme sports’ for the first time. With hull lengths of 72 feet and beams of 46 feet, these purpose-built speed machines employ 131-ft wing masts that harness enough wind power to travel at twice the apparent wind speed. In San Francisco Bay’s normal summer winds, speeds could be in the mid-40-knot range, or higher. Added together, the wing and gen-naker have a ‘sail’ area of more than 6,000 square feet. In an effort to bring race fans as close to the onboard action as possible, each boat will carry video cameras and microphones.
The America’s Cup World Series Unless you’ve been hibernating under an overturned dory somewhere, you know that 2012’s America’s Cup World Series on San Francisco Bay (aboard AC45 cats) produced some of the most exciting racing ever seen here. As was widely reported, those events

brought many of the world’s top sailors to the Bay, and many of them will be back this sum-mer to compete in AC 34. Among them — to name but a few — will be Ben Ainslie, Russell Coutts, Jimmy Spithill and Loïck Peyron, in addition to the Bay’s own Paul Cayard and JohnKostecki. Following the confirmed ACWS events in Naples, Italy, this spring, two additional con-tests will be staged on the East Coast of the U.S.
The Red Bull Youth America’s Cup One thing that AC 34 organizers are very proud of is that this edition of Cup events has a greater commitment than ever before to developing young sailors into world-class athletes. The centerpiece of this effort will be the first-ever Red Bull Youth America’s Cup, which will culminate in a series of races aboard AC45 cats that is scheduled for early September, just prior to the America’s Cup Finals. During the lead-up to that event, many teams of top young sailors will vie to be in-cluded in the competition. Some will be spon-sored by AC and/or ACWS (adult) teams, while others will be selected from hundreds of applicants at the RBYAC Trials in February.

MINIMUM EQUIPMENT LISTThe following equipment shall be required for all
yachts racing in YRA events.
1. USCG-approved life jackets for each member of the crew. If the ‘Y’ flag is displayed, USCG-approved life jackets shall be worn while racing.
2. One horseshoe life ring or 18-inch diameter USCG-approved ring buoy.
3. USCG-approved (or equivalent) fire extinguisher as required by USCG rules, readily accessible.
4. One manually-operated bilge pump.
5. One suitable anchor and cable.
6. Fog horn.
7. Marine compass.
8. Suitable charts for piloting.
Racers entering an ocean race or an ocean series must comply with the specific OYRA Minimum Equip-ment Requirements, including the requirement for a 406 EPIRB or PLB. No later than the Thursday before
EACH race sailors must complete the online Crew & Boat registration form through www.jibeset.net. Please refer to www.yra.org/OYRA/ocean_safety.html for more information on ocean racing requirements.
Contestants are reminded that conditions on San Francisco Bay are quite unpredictable, and winds in excess of 30 knots are not uncommon. The US Sailing rules state: “It shall be the sole responsibility of each yacht to decide whether or not to start or continue the race.”
We would further remind all sailors that, as pro-vided in US Sailing rules: “Every yacht shall render all possible assistance to any vessel or person in peril, when in a position to do so.” We will trust that all contestants will do everything in their power to make our sport of yacht racing as safe as it has been in the past. Note that 406 EPIRBs or PLBs are required equip-
ment on OYRA races and many other ocean races!

RULESLatitude 38’s Basic Racing Guidelines
Since sailboat racing is a recreational sport, we think the number one rule should be to have fun. Beyond that, some basic guidelines help prevent collisions and ensure that racing is both fun and fair. Below is an outline of the ten basic rules which cover most racing situations. For completeness and total accuracy, refer to Rac-ing Rules of Sailing 2013-2016, published by US Sailing. See www.ussailing.org/rules for details.
1. Port tack keep clear of starboard tack.
2. If boats are on the same tack, and overlapped, the windward boat must keep clear of the boat to leeward.
3. If boats are on the same tack, a boat clear astern must keep clear of a boat clear ahead.
4. When tacking or jibing, keep clear of boats on a tack.5. Avoid collisions. If you have the right of way and hit
the other boat, causing damage or injury, you both will be penalized.
6. Don’t obstruct. Don’t make it hard for the ‘keep clear’ boat to do so. (No hunting allowed.)
7. Sail the course prescribed. You have to round the marks in the directions specified in the sailing instruc-tions and can’t touch a mark.
8. Proper Course (same tack, within two hull lengths). If the leeward boat came from astern, leeward boat shall not sail above its own proper course during the overlap. (Remember that windward boat still has to keep clear, even if windward is forced above what it believes is windward’s proper course. Leeward still has right of way.)
9. Give room at marks and obstructions to yachts overlapped on the inside, except: a. When the overlap did not exist before the lead boat reaches the three-boatlength zone. b. When approaching a windward mark on opposite tack.
c. At a starting mark surrounded by navigable water. That is, you don’t have to let a barger in at the start except to avoid collision (then protest).
10. Acknowledge your fouls and protest those who don’t.
A free rule book comes with US Sailing membership. See www.ussailing.org.

2013 YRA PARTY CIRCUIT
Three great regattas plus a bonus race!
Welcome to the 7th year of the YRA PC Series! This great series gives you three weekend regattas plus an additional race day in June! The PC Series consists of the three marquee YRA events – the Great Vallejo Race, sponsored by the Vallejo Yacht Club, the 2nd Half Opener, sponsored by Encinal Yacht Club, and the Season Closer, sponsored by Corinthian Yacht Club. Each weekend regatta features a long distance race on Saturday, a party at the hosting club Saturday night and a shorter race on Sunday. The Summer Sailstice Regatta, hosted by South Beach Yacht Club, is a one-day race only and is part of the global holiday of Summer Sailstice. The after-party for the Summer Sailstice race is hosted by Encinal Yacht Club. The Summer Sailstice after-party is actually the Summer Sailstice San Francisco Festival, guided by a com-
mittee of sailing organizations and busi-nesses. It’s Northern California’s largest on-the-water celebration for everyone who loves harnessing wind, water, sun and sails to power their fun! You can get more infor-mation on the Summer Sailstice holiday and the San Francisco Festival at Encinal Yacht Club online at the Summer Sailstice website, www.summersailstice.com.
There will be six divisions for each regat-ta: PHRF, Sportboat, One-Design, Multihull, Short-Handed and Non-Spinnaker. We’ll then divide up each division into as many fleets as needed to create good racing.
The three weekend regattas plus the Summer Sailstice race only cost $150 when you sign up for the entire series. We think the PC Series is the best racing value on the Bay! If you were to sign up for each race individually it would cost you almost $300. You can also sign up for the YRA Series (HDA & ODCA) and add the PC Series for a grand total of only $180 – that gives you 11 race days for about $16 a race. We’re pretty sure that’s hard to beat!
The dates for the 2013 YRA Party Circuit are:
• May4–TheGreatVallejoRace1,PartySaturdaynightatVallejoYachtClub
• May5–TheGreatVallejoRace2
• June22–TheSummerSailsticeRegatta

YACHTING YOUTHLooking for a new way to entertain your kids
this year? Look no further than the Bay Area’s dozens of junior sailing programs. Many of-fer scholarships, and with rare exception, you don’t need to have your own boat. Unless noted below, club membership is not necessary. High School sailing for students in grades 9-12 takes place around Northern California in the Pacific Coast Interscholastic Sailing Association. If your high school doesn’t have a team – or enough students to field a team – don’t fret. Most pro-grams allow students from several schools to form a single team.

2013 RACE SCHEDULE
www.sausalitoyachtclub.org/racing
The SYC offers excellent racing off the scenic Marin Headlands adjacent to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. The warm club atmosphere provides a great location for after race bragging or complaining. The bar and galley are open after all the races.
• Twin Island Series: Three races around Alcatraz and Angel Island on April 27, July 20 and October 19. (You choose your direction around the islands…)
• Sunset Series: Ten Spring and Summer races on alternate Tuesday nights to set aside work pressures for mid-week competition. The Spring Series starts April 30 and the Summer Series starts July 23.
• Rear Commodore’s Race: A 20 mile race/cruise to Vallejo Yacht Club on June 22. This is usually a great downwind race with an excellent party and dinner afterward.
• Women Skippers Race: A race on April 6 with a woman as skipper. “No man may touch the wheel!”
• Midwinters Series: Five races on the first Sunday of the month from November through March.

These current charts show direction and speed of the tidal current for each hour of current at the San Francisco Bay entrance. The charts depict the flow of tidal currents under normal weather conditions. Strong winds and freshets, however, bring about non-tidal currents which may modify considerably the speeds and directions shown in the charts.
USE OF CHARTS
The chart to be used for any spe-cific time is determined by obtaining the difference between the desired time and the time of the nearest Maximum Flood or Maximum Ebb for the Golden Gate. The chart with the title that agrees most nearly with this difference is the one to be used.
The numbers before or after the arrows indicate the 'tropic speed' of the current in knots. To determine the actual speed of the current for a particular day and hour, this tropic speed is multiplied by the factor given in the table to the right, 'Factors for Correcting Speeds'. To find the correct 'predicted speed' as listed in the table, see 'Weekend Currents' on pages 90 (January-June) and 96 (July-December).

Of all the safety equipment on your boat, your VHF radio is probably the most effective and essential. Because VHF uses common frequencies, it’s important to remember a few rules of marine radio etiquette:
• Radio checks, which should be per-formed at least every time you leave your slip, should always be conducted on channel 9, never on channel 16.
• Before hailing another station on chan-nel 16, listen for at least one minute before keying your mic, so as not to “step” on radio traffic that’s already underway.
• Speak slowly and pause for at least a minute between hailing attempts.
• Always start on the “low” power setting.
• Don’t use the radio if you have non-emergency traffic that can be accomplished with a mobile phone.
