They are both '09 vintage

One last post, with the crew's writeup:

Hair looks good, man!

Its not that bad Alan. PHRF bands are arbitrary to control class sizes. I see power assisted just like non-spinnaker... all in one class until the time there is a need to split them because of...

Thanks for the history Jim.

Reposting here:

First Bay race with the boy as crew. He was very excited and a bit scared at the start, can't blame him, it was a pretty exciting experience with all the boats, the wind and the...

The formula on the SSI's show:
D∕(2.24x(LWL∕10)^3)

while on the website at https://www.sfbaysss.org/main/racing/how-to-enter/ it shows:
D/(2.24x(LWL*10)^3)

The SSI's one seems to be the...

Eventually found it, it got labeled by gmail as Promotion...

can someone post the skippers meeting zoom link? I can't find it in my inbox

"Make SSS great again"??? :)

Why do you think the club is not meeting its mission of: "use creativity, education and innovation to enhance singlehanded sailing". In any case this is a...

With not much other racing going on, I'm sure crews are begging their skippers to race doublehanded.... Of course, they must already be in their household/bubble...

Thanks Jim, I guess it is the law of unintended consequences....

As someone who has been 'excluded' by rules for certain events, I'm not a fan of legislating boats out of competition. If there is...

Bob, that is not quite right. PHRF doesn't rate for shorthanded advantage. As I mentioned in my other comment, an IRC class might be the ticket as it considers both stored power assistance and...

It would be great to learn the history of the introduction 1.c.iii to our SSIs. 1.c.i and 1.c.ii are very narrow in their exclusions, and iii comes along and blows up rule 52. From looking at...

It didn't self right either...

I've been training my new crew... Its more like a voice activated autopilot :)

I have to say, I was super skeptical of online racing, but I'm really enjoying https://www.virtualregatta.com/ particularly when playing with friends (you need a subscription if you want to do...

That really sucks. That is the part that bugs me the most, is how some folks just don't take responsibility. Even after winning protests and appeals after I was rammed by another competitor a few...

I don't have a big disagreement here, but the rules are there to make racing possible. If we don't follow the rules and use protests to enforce them, it would be chaos out there. You can certainly...

Why? Why? I didn't see anything alarming on that blog. They are racing just like everyone else. The way I read it, they would have like to give the J105 more room, but the 105 didn't call for it,...

I'm all for encouraging more single handing as well, I probably do about half and half every year since I can't compete for the season standings any more. I mostly do DH because my crew loves to get...

Lets stop with the us vs them. I know is an election year but we can do better. I participate in both classes, and all singlehanders I know take pleasure from beating doublehanders even if we are...

It's easy to jump into the single vs double handed tension. I don't think that is the right approach. Everyone needs to give a bit more room for 'shorthanded' races, particularly across divisions...

Dave, that was tough to look at on the video, glad you got pulled out and hope you can get back on the water soon and back in track for SHTP.

I do miss battling the two Yankees, Chelonia and Emerald, on Travieso. I learned a ton of racing on the Bay trying to beat those two boats.
