Thanks Tony? And Greg

Welcome back Max, John and Greg!
Elizabeth Ann is home as well.

A customer paid me for a job with a new, never installed Datrex 8 man liferaft. Details are here: https://www.datrex.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Datrex-Liferaft-Spec-Sheet-2022-LR.pdf
It also has...

There is a do it yourself yard here in Brookings, Oregon. You must have insurance. Round trip haul-out fee is $600 and yard days are $60/day for the first week, then $50/day until 1 month, then $30 a...

Thanks for posting the fun quizzes. My “yawn” was not intended as a slight … all in good fun.
I follow the Tally Ho rebuild closely as the boat was here in Brookings for a long time. A friend of...

All have competed (won) the Fastnet.
All have keels poured by the same man.

Back to the picture and sea/wind state. On the Beaufort scale (1-3 knots) the description is "Ripples with appearance of scales are formed, without foam crests"
Based on this, I would say Saraband...

I stand corrected, although I don't understand why S.Cal shows 2 different ratings for the W32 with the same configuration....204 vs 224 all boats without spinnakers, and all with close to the same...

Yes. When applying for a phrf certificate, we note that the “rudder has been faired to the Hull”. Pictures showing the fairing and aperture were also supplied to the rating committee.
Perhaps that’s...

My vote is Yes! ……surprise!
And a comment about weight… once moving, weight is your friend in these conditions.

Hi Sled, please check your PM's

Thanks for that!

Since replies are slow coming, i might have a stab. Do you mean the first European to land......?

Thanks for posting these!
This map explains it all:
Every time I have anchored in Drakes Bay I have wondered if Drake had indeed "been there"
If someone else was on the boat, I would ask...

Probably put the wind on the beam and enjoying a comfortable ride. Not racing so no need to bash it up.
Maybe headed to Alaska.... but I don't know

No... I was thinking about sponsoring it..... still thinking...the tracker is a big part of the experience for the families and armchair sailors.

Thanks for all the hard work Brian...nice to see a Pelagic on Hula! I have enquired about the cost of the trackers from yellow brick, and will report back.

Were the skippers even asked? All the trackers have the ability to set intervals....

Ah! its free......ok...point taken and sorry for coming across as an ingrate. What did the yellow brick setup cost? The synchronized ping would cost nothing BTW....and improve the tracker...

Jibeset most definitely shows phrf ratings on the entry list....but the estimated finish etc must be calculated using PCR. The tracker really sucks....surely having the update times the same and...

Jibeset shows PHRF ratings .... have these rating replaced the previous PCR ratings?

Hi Will....wouldn't that be easier to get done in SFO.... or is that an insurance stipulation that it be done in Kauai?

Where is the line drawn between the power assisted division, and boats that have powered winches....? Perhaps Bob Johnston can enlighten us?

Great. Do we know if this container is from one of the last two big container spills in the north Pacific? I suppose the drift is similar to that of the debris field generated by the Fukushima...
