Wooden sloop in Aeolian race in San Francisco

[Ted Hoppe]

I shot some footage of my friend Barbara's wooden sloop Morning Star. A good turn of speed for a PHRF rating of 270. Morning Star came in second out of 6 active racers from our Aeolian Yacht club, Alameda CA. The wind was fickle and then it was like God's finger picked us up in this warm section of the central south bay up. Ironically it was just about the time those tragic souls went afoul in the Farallons some 27 miles away.
