Hi, I missed something big and tall last week-end in Sausalito. Vadura had been a fixture since I started sailing in Sausalito in 2002. A very pretty boat, built 1926 in Scotland. Initially they...
Thanks for explaining the background, Richard! I think the late fee is totally reasonable and I appreciate the hard work to process us all. I appreciate as well the race committee's work to run these...
I bought the kindle version- worked fine and it is definitely a good read. GB recommends motor-sailing when going north, by the way. The used paper copies that I saw online were "Cruising the...
Not that much, about 60%
I try to add some pics... https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1czT3DvLnXikO73trpedk19tgUvydi32l?usp=sharing
Hi,
Welcome to the club! Sweet Pea has a Volvo. Does it come with seat belts? Parts can be a bit more expensive, that is why they are called MD, but they are available. There is a shop in the UK,...
Thank you very much, Race committee and volunteers, for organizing this race. One of the best Fiascos ever and a melee in the tradition of 18th century naval battles. Cheers Jan

Hi, There are some nicer reviews about this shop online, but not really cheap and not entirely sure about a remanufactured, likely...
Thank you, Pat, for bringing this up! In the past it seemed like a natural choice to sign up for both OYRA and SSS, but this year participating in both series was pretty much mutually exclusive....
Hi,
When I was trying to readjust the settings of my autopilot I got a bit nauseous, fortunately that went away after looking at the horizon for a bit.
Fun fact: My boat lost a bit of oil...
Hi, I put an Airmar CS4500 ultrasonic speed sensor in my boat in 2015, $700 at the time. It did come with a pulse converter and is hooked up to my Garmin depth sounder display. The sensor did fit...
Hi, rumors are spreading fast... difficulties, me? Well, on the second downwind run the snap shackle of the spinnaker guy opened right after the hoist, so after cursing out the foredeck crew we...
According to AIS, Wan Hai 176 is now coming in through the GGB, accompanied by 2 tugs.
Outhaul looks loose for an upwind course, so maybe no PRO on board....
Thanks a lot to all four letters for organizing this awesome race! Cheers Jan
Buzz Ballenger told me at the time that the forces on the boom are a lot less with end boom sheeting, so you are probably fine with your old boom. I upgraded by one size anyway after that experience...
Hi, after I broke my boom gybing too fast under the GG bridge I put in a new boom and added a traveler at the end of the cockpit of my Islander 30-2 Sweet Pea. I like the setup way better than...
Hi, I wore my 2017 Corinthian t-shirt today for my flight. Apparently the design on the back blocks the TSA scanner, so I got special treatment.... Cheers Jan

Hi, OYRA has a single handed division this year. Will go as a separate division if there are 5 boats coming- currently there are two..;);).. First race is the Lightship race on 4/17. Cheers Jan
Congrats! Propane smell on a boat is not good....For Propane, a boat is just a hole in the water.

Hi, I was looking for some background data:
To my knowledge a regular J-100 has a rating of 81, the electric version Eight Ball was rated 66, so a penalty of 15 for the electrics.
If rated in...
I just checked and did not
Thanks to the Race Committee for the hard work and for keeping us safe! I will be more fun on a different day, too....
