We average around 34 races a season spanning about 14-15 days of racing. That does not include our Wednesday Night Beer Can Series at the StFYC that is some of the most fun racing ever with dinner and drinks afterwards at the Club. iThe Wednesday evening series has been dubbed by longtime Knarr sailor Mike Peterson as the “Weekend in the middle of the week.” This class has great racing but the social aspect is also World Class. , don’t take my word for it though, World famous Sailing writer Kimball Livingston in a 2020 Sailing World article “Knarrs, Legends of the Bay” says “Word has it, that if you bottled the Secret Sauce of the Knarr, every class would buy some.” Aside from the great, competitive racing, the incredibly strong social side of the fleet we have the coup de gras, the International Knarr Championship (IKC) every year since 1969. Rotating between Norway (2023), San Francisco (2024), Denmark (2025) each and every year! How many fleets can you name that have had 54 straight years of championship regattas? Not many I’d wager. Kimball Livingston says “Name another class with a (54)-year tradition of a championship regatta that rotates annually among three countries; where visiting sailors are hosted in private homes; where boats are provided from a local fleet, but none of the locals sail their own boats; where pros pop in, but nobody gets paid; and the parties are as competitive as the sailing—you better believe it.”
