What the numbers mean:

At the close of the final round of the  Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series regatta in Fukuoka, the overall winner will start the round-robin America’s Cup Qualifiers in May of 2017 with two bonus points and the second place team will start with one bonus point.

At the end of the round-robin, ties will be broken by the LVACWS final standings. Which means that the LVACWS final standings can determine which Challenger team will be eliminated and which one will move on into the America’s Cup Match. It also can determine which team has the one point lead.

On Saturday, the races will yield 10 points for first place, 9 points for second and so on. On Sunday, the points double – 20 points for first place, 18 points for second, etc.

According to AC commentator Jack Griffen, “In spite of breathless reports which explain that the winner of a race on Sunday scores 20 points, it won’t be so easy for any of the teams to move up the leaderboard. Consider this: If the weather cooperates and all races are sailed, the most one team can improve over another is 45 points. And this would mean one team wins every race, scoring a total of 90 points for the regatta, while the other team comes in last in every race, scoring 45.

“Land Rover BAR is in a strong position to win the series and take the two bonus points. Oracle and Team New Zealand will be battling for second place and the remaining bonus point.” Full explanation here.

Strictly Sail Pacific Adds Power. Power Boats!

Strictly Sail Pacific Boat Show is now called Pacific Sail & Power Boat Show and Marine Sports Expo.  That name says it all! Everything you can do on the water. For more than 20 years the event has drawn sailors and maritime aficionados to San Francisco Bay to see the latest sailboats, trending equipment and technology, as well as participate in seminars and on-water activities.

Perhaps to  the dismay of some of the strictly sailors, the boat show will expand in 2017 to include all the new sailing and power boats that the world’s leading manufacturers have to offer. Also on display will be a full range of marine electronics, products and accessories.

Sail America, sailing trade association, made the announcement and said they are widening their mission in 2017 in response to a growing base of show visitors interested in different facets of marine recreation.  According to Sail America president Scot West, “It’s our intent to make this event a destination for anyone with a passion for being on the water.” So, in April of 2017 you will see cruising powerboats along with kayaks, canoes and img_0653stand-up paddleboards.

This internationally acclaimed boat show is the largest and oldest on the West Coast and touts all the latest gear, hardware, accessories and products. Brands are introducing new boats and water sports.

Show dates: April 6-9, 2017

Location:  Marina Bay Yacht Harbor and Craneway Pavilion in Richmond, CA, will once again be the venue for this expanded four-day boat show.
