It's not 4. I did that. I didn't have radar or AIS, so as it rose from the horizon I thought it was a ship. I called a few times, until I realized the altitude was too high to be a ship. La dee...

My version of a better mouse trap:
1. a bin that's taller than the jumping height of the intended target
2. a dowel that spans the opening plus some overhang
3. a plastic water bottle with...
The 1st page of the attached survey includes the estimated fair market value, and my contact info...
New rudder shape, 2021 PHRF cert, and SHTP pics attached.
The time has come for Eyrie to chariot another intrepid sailor to their seabound desires, and possibly Hawaii.
Eyrie is a SH Transpacific Yacht Race veteran, and overall winner of the SH Three...
I just happen to be working at the Ullman loft in Santa Cruz when David and Alex did the panel layout for the gaff sail. And I happened to take some pictures...
basic shape of the sail staked out...
Very cool "speed" effect Jonathan. It really did feel like we were going that fast, especially when Yacca was barreling towards us on port. Gulp!!

Here's a photo of Mayan at last year's RBBS along with Brigadoon and Hurrica V. Before Mayan's gaff, there was just a long batten pocket with the stiffest batten that David Hodges could...
Here's my wild guess, but only if great-great-great-great grandfathers count and planets count as stars..., now that I write it, I'm so wrong. My head must be spinning backwards.
The first voyage...
Just my curiosity. So tapping on the collective for data.
Another good thread might be about generating boat polars. A pretty handy tool if you're reaching for the pickle dish I'd say. Are...
I got this email, which got me thinking about other options, which got me thinking that you SHTP'er are probably thinking about it too. If there's already a thread on the forum that covers this...
so, where's the photo of Arcadia's bow as proof.......? :p
A triplehanded helping of Trader Joe's Triple Ginger Snaps accompanying your Macapuno ice cream with pomegranate arils.
Well as a matter of fact, no we will not be lingering off Pacifica. That will be done another day, another weather system and sea state that would be described as "pleasant", and another vessel...
Ahoy gamblers and routers. It appears that BobJ will win the first serving of Macapuno with pomegranates as we have opted to delay our departure until tomorrow. We built plenty of cushion into our...
Oh BobE, I can't tell you how happy it makes me feel knowing that you remember that.
So, this is Envolee at the start of the Puerto Vallarta race in March 2020

Let me add some additional information that will impact our ETA to Santa Barbara.
1. We intend to depart Richmond YC at 1300 Monday 2/21.
2. We will linger for a little bit off the coast of...
I would be very interested in seeing it sorted by boat type, just to see what the most popular boats are. About 15 yrs ago the top 4 were: Olson 30, Cal 40, Moore 24, & Hawkfarm 28 (of all things!!)...
Hey yo, any chance of getting Jibeset to include overall results along with the fleet results?
Hat's off to all that finished this challenging edition of the 3BF. That's why ya keep coming back, eh?
Sorry to have stunk-up the finish by commanding the role of sound signaler with a gong that...
Copy.
Will the RC have access to the GGYC race deck? Or will we be set-up in the parking lot?
Hey Joe,
Are you still in need of volunteers? I'm available to help in the PM.
Hey Jackie, it looks like you've got a bit of a hole in the port side blue panel, and it looks bigger than just a sticky patch. I'd repair it, if you bring it to me in San Jose. Or take it to...
Since we're sharing photos of our doggies, well, except for BobJ.
