This was my first time doing the Three Bridge Fiasco race — a single or double-handed race around 3 marks in the Bay: Blackaller Buoy near the Golden Gate Bridge, Treasure Island (Bay Bridge) and Red Rock (Richmond Bridge). ย Jason and I did the race on his Cal 29 “TNT” and it was outstanding. ย We went clockwise around the course, going from the start line to Red Rock to Treasure Island to Blackaller to finish. ย Our official finish time was 14:13:14.
Video of the start of the race from Jason’s GoPro:
Results: We finished 20th out of the 44 boats in our division, and #174 out of the total of 357 boats (monohull and multihull) registered for the race. ย 252 boats actually completed the race this year, scoring us in the 73rd percentile of finishers. ย If we include the boats that didn’t start or finish the race, we scored in the 51st percentile. ย Not too bad for our first double-handed race, the first race TNT had done, and both of our first Three Bridge Fiasco race experience.
Jibeset Results:
Fleet Assignments (#20 out of 44 entrants)
Overall Results (#174 out of 279 double-handed monohull entrants)
