hey, welcome. I live in
San Francisco and sailed all my life. We have Santana 22 in the Marina and I still
race actively my Laser.
Great place to learn, plenty (too much in the summer) of
wind, fascinating location (especially the 6 months of summer:
fog in the morning, then blue sky, then 15-25 knots in the afternoon, then no
wind after 7 pm). Everyday is more of less the same.
My biggest problem is the cold water. You try to sail in a warm locale without your oilies, in places where you
anchor and just in the water with no worries or questions about whether or not you need to dip your toes first, then the neck, etc...
Lots of people sail in
San Francisco. Get into
racing with low key boats / beercan series every night in the summer. Friendly, low key, make some friends, learn a lot.
Enjoy!
