A Knarr is a 30 foot gracious, slim, and fast sailboat developped in
Norway just before second World War, and currently only sailed in
Norway, Denmark, and of course... San Francisco.
I've had the pleasure of sailing with George both while living in
Berkeley (1998-1999 and 2001) and San Francisco (2002), and on most
of my visits afterwards (2002-2004). He has taught me the basics of
racing, and was the first to introduce me to (very) strong currents.
Situated by the San Francisco Bay, a typical trip would be rounding
Alcatraz, sailing along the skyline, and returning via Golden Gate.
What more could one desire?
