THE RACING SHEET US Women's match racing; Cassedy is #3 (San Francisco's Nicole Breault is still #1). Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, defenders of the America's Cup, will host the regatta in Elliott 7m boats on February 9-11. See www. rnzys.org.nz. US Sailing has released their shortlist of nominees for 2018 Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year. They are Laser Radial sailor Paige Railey, twin 420 champs Carmen and Emma Cowles, Bay Area kiteboarding phenom Daniela Moroz; and J/24 champ Will Welles, J/22 champ Zeke Horowitz and J/70 champ Jud Smith. The winners will be announced in February and honored on February 28 during a luncheon at St. Francis YC. The fourth edition of California Offshore Race Week will again offer four separate races linking San Francisco to

Monterey to Santa Barbara to San Diego, but this year's CORW will also offer a nonstop flight. The California 500 will depart San Francisco and sail directly to San Diego, leaving the Farallones to port. The new event will be open to monohulls
with an ORR rating of 1.06 or higher and multihulls of 45-ft LOA or more. Part of the idea is to offer an alternative for big, fast deepdraft boats that can't fit in the shallower harbors in Monterey and Santa Barbara. The first leg of the CORW, the Spinnaker Cup, will start off St. Francis YC on May 25. The CA 500 will start on May 30. The intent is for that fleet to finish alongside the SoCal 300 in San Diego Bay and make it to the party on June 1. The plan is to run the CA 500 biennially in Transpac (odd) years. We're looking forward to hearing what boats will be coming to the Bay for the start. For info, go to www.offshoreraceweek.com. — latitude/chris
