I just purchased an inReach 2 way satellite communticator. There are 2 models, one that will pair with an Android phone and one that will pair with a handheld GPS navigator (PN-60) from DeLorme (the...

I'm perfectly fine with that, PCR it is. George

Just a quick clarification question. Is this race being run under PCR or Norcal PHRF downwind ratings? The rules are ambiguous as 16.01 says OR an alternative downwind rating. Thanks, George McKay...

So I just put the check in the envelope. Cookie Jar's entry goes in the mail tomorrow. 3 Moore 24's and an OD start here we come. CJ has been on Moore's reef since October and will be coming off...

So I have a spare spinnaker that I could loan out. I would love to do the coastal course to Marina del Rey with a 100 mile offshore turning mark in April. We'll see how things shape up. George

If we get a few more Moores that need to do the qualifier, we could do a mini longpac :)

Well, I bought Cookie Jar back from Jim. I was boatless for 4 months (a record for me). Ron Moore is filling the deck holes, painting, non-skidding and giving CJ an open transom. I plan on doing...

Just to let everyone know Velocious has moved to Washington. Thanks for all the responses and the condolences. George

I don't have time to sail so Velocious must go. She did SHTP in 2000 and has lots of solo goodies. Fast is Fun and somebody should be enjoying her!

I did do the Coastal Cup Single handed in 2002 but ran into an Orca off of Ano Nuevo and pulled into Santa Cruz to check the keel. I fully intend to do it again this year singlehanded. Maybe we...

Yeah, I really think that is a possibility. Sometimes you just have to say What the F**K and go for it. If it comes to pass I will do my damnedest to get there. G

I have been looking for a NEXT big thing. The problem is it sounds like you guys are excluding my boat with the minimum req's. If you would allow a SC27 to play, I could get really excited about...

I am in the no SSB required camp, but if a check in is required and will incur a penalty there MUST be an alternate back up means of check in. In 04, my SSB worked great until it took a bath the...

That is fine to ask, but everyone has their own idea of the "best way" to set up their boat. Also, ask yourself what your goals are. Are you sailing in the bay, coastal racing, ocean crossing? I...

June 20 is the day I lost my house last year:eek:. Not the luckiest day for me, but that is irrelevant from a sailing perspective.

I would vote for early July. This is simply from the practical...

Hello all,
I am getting Velocious tuned up for a run at SHTP 2010, and as such will be doing solo Farrallones, and Longpac among others. It will be fun to get Velocious (a 2000 SHTP Vet under GW...

Don't believe the shipping quotes (at least from Matson). When I shipped CookieJar back in 04, I was quoted 3 different prices from 3 different people on this end and the final price was given by...

For the 04 SHTP I had an 80 W, a 50 W, and three 20 W panels on Cookie Jar and never used my generator backup. I ran my below deck autopilot 80% of the time and never had my 200 AH less than half...

Hello,

I must make 2 changes to the interest list. First, I sold my Freedom 21 and bought an SC27 (Velocious from GW) so I would have a faster crossing and maybe work a one design start with...
