I got my tide hat handed to me. It may be the last time I try to forgo the autohelm. Sure glad I have been hitting the gym and doing cardio. I ran down the shared starting/house batteries by hitting...

I know this is so last year... YRA from 2022 states:

IX. ELECTRIC WINCHES
Electric winches are disallowed under RRS 52, unless specifically allowed by a race committee in the Sailing...

Do you still have this trailer? What is the gross weight it can carry?

I am looking for one that can carry one of my boats (@ 8800lbs 30'). I would be interested in renting or buying. Exploring...

Lovely to see you and her out there. Made a nice sail even better.

I can not understand why she has had little interest over these past 6 months. She is a fantastic shorthanded boat.

I just want her to go to a good home - not really interested in any serious...

@GBR3068 - It was a hard night/weekend. I was aboard Quantum, the support boat Beneteau. We cut loose Leading Lady who rafted up with us at 2130 knowing we were going to bang hard. None of us slept...

I have spend a little more of time with LL. resealed her toe rails; Her sides and interior are painted. Will refresh the deck next. I really hadn't posted it up for sale but here. Not surprisingly...

I sailed with Stan quite a bit. He was a character and had always interesting things to say. I regret I never got to crew with him on on Great Fun II. His passion for the 1D35 got us excited about...

We had a blast last week sailing her. We were on track to win the Master Mariners Regatta Ocean 2 class but shrimped the Spinnaker costing us 10 minutes of dead stop. bummer.

I know I never have gotten the full speed out of her like many others have but in a blow on the bay there are few boats her size that go up wind as fast and are as stiff as she is. I have been...

Lively Lady is a strip plank Mull 30 built professionally in 1967 by American Marine.

When launched, she was way ahead of her time and today remains a remarkable, beautiful and fast sailing...

I did after the video. :o

The repairs were successful and will be sailing on Saturday in the TBF. The looms are good too. Thanks again Bob!

Engine over the keel made it easy to manage. I tore down the water pump,...

Not seeing much interest or comment in the cruise out and with fantastic offer to do a sail delivery between Oahu and Maui starting Friday, I will need to postpone my participation. I hope a few of...

Great suggestion Bob, thanks! I pick up some loom today.

Alan - Our approach into SSS has been very similar. I read everything you write and consider your view point with a bit of wisdom and weight.
I have always shoe stringed a boat and racing program...

Yeah - it is sailboat racing and it is silly. I am just one goofy sailor more on the outside with questions and anecdotal thoughts based what it appeared to be. Obviously my boat and me are the same,...

Thank you Bob. It is tricky sailing sailing a slower boat against fast boats that get priority, prime starting times and cause us to practice safer, more prudent race positions. Like Tom's Osprey, I...

It was not a question of ratings but of deference. I recognize PHRF is too hot a potato for the SSS to get involved and wisely avoiding making rating adaptations. I will note there were rating...

I raced many of the races last year - all non spin and without an autopilot by choice. I loved each race when I was out there and to finally be sailing with some of best in the bay with a boat fast...
