There are a lot of people that sail on Tomales Bay. Tomales is pretty predictable but you can get caught in some big wind in the later part of the afternoon and aren't close to home. Most of the guys live in the Santa Rosa area. They have built a nice fleet of Lasers, Force 5's and a Banshee. I haven't been sailing with them as much lately because they are all retired and sail during the week to avoid the crowds. I also like to sail on the Russian River and have been thinking about Berryessa for a while.Looking to connect with any Sunfish sailors in the Bay Area. Where do you sail? How do you handle the windy summer conditions? I currently sail a Zuma out of Richmond but thinking about making the switch to a Sunfish.
I have looked at Tomales Bay, looks like a fun place to sail. I hope to get a trailer soon so I can check it out. I'm stuck in Richmond for now, which is a nice place to be stuck but do hope to get out and explore other areas.There are a lot of people that sail on Tomales Bay.

Jduri I will PM you.New to Sunfish sailing myself, and also looking to connect. I’m in the Santa Rosa Sailing Club. Currently sailing casual regattas with a mixed fleet. Marconi Cove@ Tomales Bay 10/10 & 10/24 join us if you can.
We sail Lake Ralphine, Spring Lake, and Lake Sonoma, as well as some casual Bay cruises (Estuary, San Rafael Creek, Vallejo, etc…)
I’d be interested in meeting up with you in Richmond sometime.
I caught up with the Santa Rosa Sailing club at Marconi when I first got my Sunfish three years ago. It was my second time on Tomales and I met Commodore David, I believe. I check out their FB page from time to time but the info doesn't seem to be updated very often. I'll have to check it out as it's been a while. I'd like to sail with you guys at some point. Here's my standard photo of my Sunfish on Tomales.New to Sunfish sailing myself, and also looking to connect. I’m in the Santa Rosa Sailing Club. Currently sailing casual regattas with a mixed fleet.

More interested in casual cruising than racing. I'll check out the Delta Dingy Ditch Run, thanks!There are a couple guys who occasionally race Sunfish when Richmond YC has events. If you are interested in racing I could give you their email addresses via PM.
Otherwise you should see when Lake Washington YC runs the Delta Dinghy Ditch Run. I did that in my Sunfish and had a blast!!
Norcal, thanks for the pics! That is on Tomales bay I take it. I thought about getting a Banshee as I want something a little sportier than my Zuma. I settled on a Fulcrum Rocket which hopefully I'll be getting in July. PM me if you are interested in meeting up in Richmond. I see two Banshee's in the pic, what is the boat between them? Also, where does one get a cool pendant like the one streaming on the far Banshee?Chris had mentioned this Delta event a while back and I may get there one of these days. I have been focusing on my Banshee since I bought it a few weeks ago, so I'm pulled in a different direction for now. (I think I posted this photo of us at the Marconi launch already)

One other thing, Id be interested in why you switched to the Banshee and how would you compare it to a Sunfish?
I'd love to meet up with you. waiting on my new Sunfish sail. My new Lonestar sail arrives Monday.Wanted to give this a bump. Trying again to and see if anyone would like to meetup in Richmond and the Marina Bay Yacht Harbor (Marina Bay Yacht Harbor | A great location on the Bay!). I'm sailing most weekends.

Thanks for this information Jduri. I am going to have to get there!Last Sunday of each month is our current series. Our Website is down, so will need to find an NOR somewhere.
