BADPAK
THE RACING Last month, the vicissitudes of wind and current variously taxed race crews' patience or gear. In this edition we visit Berkeley YC, Corinthian YC, Island YC, Richmond YC and Southern California Yachting Association Midwinters, the Perry Cup for Mercurys in Monterey, and Encinal YC' YC's Jack Frost. Box Scores are back, and we end with Race Notes aplenty.

CYC Midwinters End with a Bang That loud noise you hear may be a boom. Breaking. Or maybe even a mast. Breaking. Into three pieces. Such was the worst of the carnage at Corinthian Yacht Club's final Midwinter race on Sunday, February 18. Wind velocity predictions proved accurate, with gusts up to 38 knots and a drenching ebb chop. The broken boom belonged to Bob Bloom's Jarlen. When the J/35 jibed around Blossom Rock, the boom snapped just aft of the vang. Dale Scoggin's Open 5.70 Frisky was getting frisky indeed in the big breeze.
