BAADS strives to make all aspects of sailing accessible. To fulfill this mission, we offer weekly small boat & keelboat sailing out of South Beach Harbor, next to Oracle Park.
BAADS is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization which relies on tax-deductible donations to run our programs. Boat donations and equipment are also accepted.
It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that our dear friend and fellow sailor, John Greener, died peacefully on Thursday, February 13. He was at home with Karen, his beloved wife of more than 40 years. Before joining BAADS, John spent many years in Hawaii and dearly loved the water. He first joined BAADS in the early 90’s and quickly became a skipper on both Endless Time and Raven.
Although John was the sweetest man off the water, many of us experienced another side to him – as a ferocious competitor on many a race course! John was often on the podium as a Liberty racer in our Herb Meyer Regatta and was champion in 2019. He also raced a Freedom 20 in the Independence Cup in Chicago several times and competed in the North American Para Sailing Championship in San Diego. John also said though that some of his favorite sailing days were quiet ones with just Karen and their girls, Victoria and Angela out on the Bay.
A longer obituary will be posted Pirates Log as well as details of his Celebration of Life sometime this spring. If you would like to send your condolences to Karen, here’s her address: 25 Pico Court San Raphel, 94903.
John was a dear friend of BAADS and will be greatly missed.
We’re gearing up for 2025’s Herb Meyer Regatta, so here’s a look back on the 2024 HMR. We wish to thank all the many volunteers, racers, and safety crew for making this race weekend such a big success!
Safety Day 2024 was attended by 25 BAADS and SBYC sailors, plus representatives from the San Francisco Fire Department Engine 35. The day included presentations on keelboat, small boat and dock safety awareness, preparation, and response which sparked discussions giving us all tangible examples of fundamental safety principles in action. A big thank you to our Safety Director, Charles Weinbar.
A copy of the Safety Day slide deck, plus other resources has been posted at https://www.baads.org/safety/. The safety event was followed by a great BAADS dock clean-up (thank you Scouts!) and we as always thank you!
BAADS welcomes your submissions to our semi-monthly newletter the Pirate’s Log – especially from our fellow sailors in and around our own sailboats. We can’t guarantee we’ll include every word or photo, but please email your articles that you think your fellow sailors would be interested in to pirateslog@baads.org
