The Knarr was designed to be a day sailer in Norway in 1943 but in reality it is a thorougbred race machine that has been a permanent fixture on the San Francisco bay since the early 1960's.  Knarr, isn't just a boat, it's a lifestyle.  Racing is the glue that holds us together.    

 

We race both here in San Francisco and abroad in Norway and Denmark during our International Knarr Championships.  Locally, we compete as a one Design Class in the following:

 

• We compete in many invitational regattas like the Spring One Design, The Elite Keel, The Fall Classic and of course the St.FYC's fabled "Woodies" regatta. 

• We race in the St.FYC's Wednesday Night Woodies Series

• We  compete in the GGYC's Midwinters

 

All in all, that comes out to nearly 60 races a year! It is a fun schedule and a wonderful way to enjoy the bay.
