Fun! Sleddog getting back to his small boat One Design roots!

Got one already. I'll add a couple of front panels to it before winter.

I bet the administrative costs of dealing with all the million permits is a lot more than the cost of the materials and labor to build the thing.

Of course you have to have a dock floating under...

TI sailing has had some major turnover of personnel but I finally heard back from their Waterfront Activities Director. Word is that the development company is requiring them to shrink their...

I'm late to this party, but curious how Howards landsailer has fared....

If you play drums, I'll row!

Well, iffin' anybody sails down to Redwood City and wants crew.... (hint, hint). I live about 8 minutes from the harbor.

Something is going on with the Treasure Island Sailing Center. I wrote to the guy I've been communicating with about dry storage and got a bounced e-mail. He doesn't work there any more, but gives...

This place does RV rentals. I did a search for driveable RV's within 15 miles of Oakland and came up with a lot of options. Prices were from about $225/night to over $400 a...

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 me on the wait list for a spot. How long do you...

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 Ben's memorial is. I will do everything I can to...

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 big day. 95% of her sailing will be in the...

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 work on the trailer, as it needs new wood bits...

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, the backstay adjustment system needs to get put...

Splash. She didn't sink. Hurrah!

Today was a Big Day!

Yes, though the system needs some re-thinking. The lines and blocks that were on it were 1960's vintage, so they're now gone. The "tail"...the part that goes through the turning block just below...

Alpha, now painted, with DF#'s and name applied, is sitting at British Marine waiting to get the last of her ancient bottom paint removed and a new one applied, and to have the mast stepped. I hope...

I just came here to post this news, you beat me to it. This is just awful. Lucie is the sweetest person you could ever meet, and Ben was such a great character.

My last memory of Ben was sailing...

i've written about the ones on Bethel Island. I don't know anything about the yard in Antioch.

Pacific Boat Services in Stockton...

About Bethel Island...

I both called and dropped by Bethel Harbor and talked to the harbormaster about hauling out there. Now, my boat is small and not glamorous, but even though I was polite and...

If you're planning on SHTP 2023, this thing will steer your boat and satisfy the race rules. It probably won't steer a 45 footer, and it's too heavy for an <30 foot ultralight, but otherwise, should...

I've never met Commodore Tompkins, and I'd sure like to, someday.
