The racing season never really ends on San Francisco Bay. But several regattas in the early spring signal the start of a new year. The One-Design Invitational, sponsored by the St. Francis Yacht Club, is one of them. And this year it offered both light winds and heavy in a challenging City Front series.

Finishing first in the ten-boat Newport 30 class was Dick and Pam Aronoff's Harry. Outfitted with a new main and two new headsails from Pineapple Sails, Harry is off to a good start.

Dick, with his former partner, Thom, took delivery of Harry in1974 and the boat has been "powered by Pineapples" ever since. Another good start!

The best races begin with good starts. And they end with great finishes!

Pineapple Sails provide the staying power to get ahead and stay ahead.

(Ask any Thom, Dick or Harry!)
