A second consecutive day of favorable winds opened the door for a highly-competitive final day of action at the Sperry Top-Sider NOOD Regatta San Francisco.
What an amazing day on the water for the start of the SF NOOD. Thanks to longtime San Fran photographer Erik Simonson for these photos. Each of these photos, plus many others, are available for purchase via Smugmug.

In this February 1995 ‘From the Experts’ article, Steve Bourdow explains how Laser rigging was refined to a new level as Olympic sailors join the ranks of this popular one-design.
In this ‘Around the Buoys’ article from our January 1997 issue, Morgan Reeser describes how to utilize your planing ability even when the mark is dead downwind.
Held July 21-26, the Highlander Nationals were held at EYC/Whiskey Island Marina. This quirky class brought with it tents, kilts, and party treats, on top of competitive racing. Photo Credit: Chris Howell and Gayle Kaufolz
In this article from September 1993, John Burnham writes about the “new” IBM/ Sailing World National Offshore One-Design regattas focusing attention on sailors and sailing venues on the West Coast and in the Midwest.
In this article from 1991, Stuart Walker explains why heads-up tactics and some quick forethought are often better than a red flag when it comes to dealing with Rule 54.3.
The last day of the regatta was worth waiting for as the wind finally came.
