The SSS can't find a hotel boat to act as a base for the RC? (ask around, someone might not be racing Saturday). Or a van/RV to hang out in? If RC...

That looks very fast, Howard! I hope you don't get any road rash. Have fun!

Mini Skeeter build report 05/17/22 @ 1730 hrs. Wheels on, Mast up, sail goes up tomorrow for photo opp around 1400 hrs. Next up is assemble...

One year there were two or three finishers, all within the last hour before the 6? am cutoff. Rich Ray and I were the only ones on the race deck by...

You'll probably be splashing the Caravelle right as I'm finishing up the RoG. Good. We can come up with some Bay/Delta RAID. TISC wouldn't even put...

At some point I still intend to make either bateaux.com's "caravelle" from the plans AZsailor went me, or a 15 foot +/- semi-performance rowing boat...

Jackie: It wasn't too bad after the race, but I headed south, everyone else headed north. I just couldn't figure out why the entire fleet was tacking...

I would offer to bring Surprise! over but I'll be in final prep for our PacCup qualifier, which we're sailing the week of the 23rd.

For the personal safety of the RC on the seawall and the commute back home, the RC implemented a 12 a.m. cutoff this year. Also, the RC does not...

Our SSS Commodore finished after midnight in 2017. Extending the deadline just to 0100 would cover all finish times for the last ten years except...

I think the time I won overall it was after midnight on a 57 rated boat. Midnight wasn't ever a cutoff before as I recall.

It's awful. I hope you are recovering from your broken sternum and that it's not too painful...enough pain already. Please, please let us know when...

Dear Lucy, Nancy and I are saddened to hear this terrible news. We hope you are recovering comfortably and will be okay. Our thoughts are with you...

BTW, you'll never see Alpha in an SSS event. She's an open-cockpit boat with no internal flotation. I'm not taking her out in the Central Bay on a...

For now, at Embarcadero Basin in Oakland. The slip I'm applying for is on the same dock as Mike and Linda of HARP. While she's in the water I will...

I built a boarding ladder out of PVC pipe with a piece of old halyard for the Hawkfarm. Each leg clipped to the slotted toe rail and both the...

Cliff, thanks for the good information. It sounds like other than the Amoxicillin, I can add OTC items that will fill the void in my medical kit. ...

Hi Mike, Here's what I tried on Surprise!: https://www.sfbaysss.org/forum/showthread.php?2181-Surprise!&p=23019#post23019 These were...

I'll try and keep any thread updates tagged with the spreadsheet/SER item numbers. wrt 3.2.1 Jacklines David suggested using an etrier...

She's a beauty, Alan! Where will you keep her?

Tomorrow I rig up the mainsheet, and put some cleats in, to tie off the jib sheet twings. The twings lead to convenient spots below decks. Finally,...

Splash. She didn't sink. Hurrah!

Today was a Big Day!

Bob: I/North reached a similar conclusion regarding the geometry of the reef tack stresses -- North will probably reposition my reef tack points...

Ray Irvine gave me one of his trackers early on and hasn't asked for it back. I just leave it on my boat plugged into one of my two usb ports. It is...

Hi Jackie. I'm Mike Smith. Here is my Cal 2-34 EOS: https://www.dwaynenewton.com/Sailing-Vessel-EON/ I'm at Brisbane Marina Dock 6 now. I saw you at...

I have used yellow brick (I found a UK device I'm assuming you're talking about) but at work we use Garmin inReach mini's they seem to do the same...
