17 Knot Liveaboards 😳🤣 #ourladydefiant #yachtracing #sailing#

On our trip back into the bay during the Lightship race, we clocked one surf up to about 17 knots. We had a great time coming back into the bay under kite!

Hana Ho sucking their gut in to fit between us and a boat 50 feet ahead of us (🥎🥎) #ourladydefiant

At the start of the 2025 Lightship race, Hana Ho, a Santa Cruz 50, came down and just barely fit between our bow and the stern of the boat in front of them. If we had come down with them and sped up, we'd have closed the gap and put them in an unenviable spot. With 4 minutes left to the gun, it...

A ⛵️ Fun and Fast 🏎️ Final Beercan Race at Richmond Yacht Club #ourladydefiant #yachtracing #sailing

This was the final beercan sailing race at Richmond Yacht Club for the 2024 season. We raced in the spinnaker class over 30 ft. and after getting a late start, we quickly caught up with the fleet. We had a bit of drama at the windward mark rounding, but worked it all out and finally set a kite to th...

Would you want to sail this fast!? #f18 #ourladydefiant #yachtracing

Ira just wrapped up photographing the F18 Americas Championship, and I drove for her one of the days. Those things haul ass!!! We were in a 18 ft. rib with a 90HP, and to get ahead of these things or do a ride-along with them involved some moderate butt-pucker... down wind OR up wind. The other chal...

Would you want to sail this fast!? #ourladydefiant #yachtracing #multihull

Ira took photos of the F18 Catamarans racing in the Americas Championship race this past week and got some awesome shots. These boats were exceedingly difficult to take awesome photos of because of how fast they are and how quickly they accelerate up to speed. Really fun to watch and a really great ...

Getting pooped while taking Pac Cup finish photos#ourladydefiant #yachtracing #paccuprace

Ira was taking photos from the back of a local powerboat for the finishers of the Pacific Cup (the fun race to Hawaii!) and got pooped as all heck by 15-20 ft swell. And that's not just any swell: it's middle of the pacific, nothing in it's way, huge, powerful groundswell! What she do...

🤬 What happens if you don’t yell at your crew? 🤗 RYC Beercan Race #ourladydefiant #yachtracing

We sailed in the September 4th beercan race, and had a wonderful crew onboard, any one of which could have run the boat themselves. The result was a relaxing sail and a good result in the race! I think even on corrected time Wildcard would have beat us, but not by a lot: they did a great job of comi...

Drakes Bay 2024 Entering the Golden Gate with 20-25 knots #ourladydefiant #yachtracing #liveaboard

The Golden Gate can be a challenging gate to sail through. The wind accelerates and shifts sometimes wildly. We call these the gremlins. Thankfully we made it through without a wipeout, even with a gybe right under the bridge.
