I just got off the phone with Ruben. The bite on the rudder was smaller than it looks (to me) in the photo - it's about 2" long. They were able to...

I really enjoyed the photos of Uffa Fox and Prince Philip. Flying fifteens....still raced extensively in the UK.

A good friend (Jim Mullarkey) recently got an Islander 36. Sounds like a good candidate and a likely home if no other takers. Ants

Rudder looks like an easy repair, yes? If the stanchions or bases needing welding, they'll likely rust. Yes? Tell Ruben "Hi." I've been cleaning...

Jason, the best hull diver in the world, has been bugging me to get this looked at. It was caused by the SSS drogue demonstration last year. It...

Congratulations, Philippe! Finally. You'll have to come up and visit us. At high tide this time.

Just a quick update ... Changabang is still in Half Moon Bay. Todd and I have gone out a couple of times, which was good. I am starting a new job in...

Who is Robb Walker and what does Nozomi mean?

Thank you Jackie and David for the recon. Before writing course to paper, I called the Tiburon Yacht club that still uses Sister's for a rounding. ...
