Great shots of Bear Boats and other vintage sailboats racing in front of the San Francisco city front in the 1980s. Part 2

Very cool to see such a huge fleet of the Birds racing. I couldn't see mine (#22 Hummingbird), but it might have been out there. I saw her sister Bird #5 "Falcon" so that is pretty cool. Falcon was lost in '89 during the Master Mariners race off Angel Island. When this film was done, there was only one missing Bird, #1 that was lost in 1922. Now there are 19 of the original 26 built, 15 of those are likely seaworthy, with one nearly there, another needing a few rotten planks replaced but in otherwise decent shape. The other two need full rebuilds.
