    Neat! I'll be sailing my home waters of SoCal, so won't be joining, but it sounds great. Forgive my abject ignorance, but what is the etymology of ZYC?

    If I'm not mistaken, ZYC is Zavarin Yacht Club. Named for Sergei Zavarin, Elise's primary caretaker when Nathalie owned Elise. Friend, maintenance helper, photographer and occasional crew for several of us here. I haven't heard from Serge lately.
    As you might guess, the ZYC has no building, no documents, no bank account, and no existence (that I'm aware of) other than as the namesake of the ZYC Challenge.

    But Bob...
    It was just a lower.
    Only 4 strands.
    Wasn't very windy on the bay this weekend.
    Wrap some duct tape around it to prevent injury.
    Tie off a spare halyard or three.
    What could possibly go wrong?
    You could have made it.
    :P

    We talked about the halyard idea but we had to cross the Slot one more time and that shroud was on the windward side. We were okay for the season so we called it a day.

    Did anyone finish today?
