Richmond Yacht Club in Richmond, CA every spring hosts the Big Daddy Regatta. On Saturday, the various PHRF handicap and one-design fleets enjoy up to three quick windward-leeward races. Then, on Sunday the pursuit race takes place with the smallest/slowest boats starting first in the morning and the fastest boats starting much later. For Saturday’s buoy-racing, the fleet enjoyed good breezes, and the Richmond YC PRO managed to run three races. The J/105s enjoyed a duel between two boats with Dick Maclay’s YELLOWFIN taking class honors with a 1-1-2 for 4 points over Chris Kim’s VUJA STAR that posted a 2-2-1 for 5 points.
