Where would the actual racing take place? Out in the open ocean or...a
course around Alcatraz Island? The latter would sure draw shoreline
crowds on all sides of the Bay.


Reply: Could be around Alcatraz to the Farallon Islands and back. already
a couple sailboat races a year that do that. About 26 miles to the islands.
There are questions on how a bankrupt city like SF can afford to do the
upgrades required.
