4th All Islander Rendezvous & Fun Race
Get your reservation in now! September 17th -19th you will want to be at this great event. We mean every Islander on San Francisco Bay, and our Members from around the country. It's a great time of year to be in San Francisco (you did promise you were going to come to one of these, didn't you?!) It's an Islander boat show. It's a chance to tour all kinds of Islanders and learn what other owners have done with their boats. It's fun too, and there's even a Fun Race to sail, crew or just watch on Saturday. Details & Reservation Form & T Shirt Order. |
 Coyote Pt. |
Coyote Point Cruise
August 13-15 the Islander fleet showed they can have fun in style. With 13 boats represented, lawn games and a pig roast with dancing, it was a blast. Check out the Coyote Pt. Cruise story & pictures. |
 Start 7-10-10 |
Luna Sea scored her best in a Season's Championship race on August 7th, taking 3rd in the first race. Leader Windwalker took a "Retired After Finish" in the first race and a 1st in the second to stay in first place by just 2 point overall as we reach the three-throwout point in the season. The valient Captain Hooke took two 2nds to remain in second overall. Tenacious took a 1st and 3rd to move into third for the season, 2 points ahead of Pacific High,. There were protests noted by the Race Committee for Windwalker, Captain Hooke, Tenacious & Pacific High, so standing might change. The thumbnail (click for larger) is the July 10th start and is compliments of Zingara. Check out all the standings and find the race details at Season's Standings. Click on the "Details" link at the top of each race to see the finish times and other details. Here's a link to Orion's page of pics from the July 10th weekend - including the race, a concert and a Sunday sail: Orion's Log. |
 Canadian All Islander |
Canadian All Islander Rendezvous
The 4th Canadian All Islander Rendezvous was terrific at Thetis Island, British Columbia. At least 20 boats were represented afloat or as crew or by car. Perfect weather, boats from 28' to 41' represented, a great potluck dinner, a songfest, and Bob's traditional mainsail slide show were just some of the highlights. Lots of pictures to look at and enjoy: Canadian All Islander. |
September Picture of the Month:
Here are both a great Islander 36, The Irish Rogue, and a typical day on San Francisco Bay. Gary Connors has her in the groove passing Alcatraz Island. We always need more pictures, so limber up your digital camera for some great Islander pictures, here's how.
 South Beach Cruise |
South Beach and Giants vs As Game
Dan Knox pulled off another great South Beach Cruise and Gaints vs A's ball game. 13 Boats were represented by 4 dogs and over 37 people. It was hot, windy and a lot of fun. A couple of videos and pictures are still to come, but here is the fun through Sunday morning: Fun & Games. |
 Vallejo Cruise |
Memorial Day Cruise to Vallejo A great weekend with perfect weather. We had thirteen boats represented by 32 Islander folk and lots of VYC friends having fun. Check it all out: Vallejo Cruise. |
New Maintenance Additions:
Thanks to Robert Aston, we've added three Perkins engine resources: Perkins Operators Manual, Perkins 4-108 Parts, and Perkins Shop Manual. Be patient, they are 3 -7 MB PDF files and take a bit to load.
Eric Mueller is doing a major overhaul on Serenity and has provided some detailed PowerPoint slide shows for our do-it-yourself crowd. There are three on bulkhead replacing, and another look at rebedding your outboard toerails. Even if you are not planning on doing this, these pictures give you a great look at places you normally can't see. Have a little patience as these files are 4-5 megabytes each, but they are worth the wait. Take a look at Serenity Port Bulkhead Replacement, Stbd Main Bulkhead, Stbd Forward Bulkhead and Toerail Rebedding #2.
 Holole'a |
Holole'a in Gulf Islands. Our great Canadian members John & Marion Rodall sent along these pics of Holole'a on their annual 5 day Amigo's Cruise. Link to the Whole Story. |
 Geja |
Geja's 2010 Cruises You may recall Andrew Vic's great presentation on cruising the Med. We all would have thought that Andrew had already found every attractive harbor (and woman) along the whole Adriatic Coast. Not so, as this and last summer's pictures attest. Click on through to his new Links to the Whole Story. |
Canadian Cruising Guide: Our Candaian members John & Marion Rodall were down for the All Islander Rendezvous in September 2009 and enchanted us with tales of the beautiful cruising there is around Vancouver Island. In March 2010 they updated their "starter kit" of some of the best places and areas for Canadian cruising. Check out Canadian Cruising Guide. It's a great companion piece to Bert & Carey Vermeer's cruise log above.
