The 7 ceramic ball bearings in a new Zircon block overcome inertia from friction so easily, information flows acutely through the sheet. Simply put, trimmers feel and better match sail shape to the new condition–often the difference between winning and not.

At top wind ranges, you need more purchase to trim harder. Go for it. When the breeze backs off, Zircon blocks let you ease…even through all those sheaves.

Ahoy Racers!
We hope this publication finds you healthy, happy, and looking forward to another great year of racing! 2022 was an excellent year for racing, and we think 2023 is shaping up to be just as fantastic. Whether you sail a multihull, a classic woody, or in a one-design fleet, sail shorthanded, sail on the ocean, or race under PHRF in the Bay, there are so many racing opportunities to choose from, and the YRA offers some of the best value for your racing dollars. Our Shorthanded Sunday Series is continuing to grow, and our Doublehanded Midwinters is off to another successful start. We’re bringing back our longdistance ocean race, the Bluewater Bash, and, we’re adding an ocean race to our popular Destination Regattas. We hope you’ll join us down in Half Moon Bay on June 24 for the post-race Beachside BBQ that is already being planned!
As always, we want to send out thank-yous to the YRA member clubs that run races for us; we couldn’t have a racing season without their support and the hard work of their race committees. You can find a list of our sponsoring clubs on page 8 of this booklet. Remember to wave some thanks to your race committees when you’ve finished a race.
This annual publication serves as your reminder that it’s time to renew your PHRF certificate and YRA membership for 2023. Both the YRA website and this booklet have all the information you need on the 2023 season, so pick your races, get them added to your calendar, start lining up your crew, and register online. Registration for all our races and series, and for PHRF Certificates and YRA Memberships, is done through www.Jibeset.net. Just click on the Yacht Racing Association
link on the left column of the Jibeset.net home page to see our full list of registration options.
Be sure to check the YRA website for information on educational seminars coming up in 2023 and be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to keep up with all the latest YRA news. We look forward to seeing you out on the water, and at YRA events, in the year ahead.

Rules
Latitude 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 10 basic rules that cover most racing situations. For completeness and total accuracy, refer to Racing Rules of Sailing 2023-2024, 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 will both 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 Instructions 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 the 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 tacks.
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. Go to www.sailing.org to purchase a rulebook.

VHF Radio Channel Uses
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 performed at least every time you leave your slip, should always be conducted on channel 9, never on channel 16.
• Before hailing another station on channel 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.
