Alerion 38 "Surprise!"
The same last night at the Richmond Yacht Club: No quorum, couldn't approve the minutes from the last meeting in June and worse than CBC's meeting, NO ice cream.Originally Posted by Howard Spruit
Years ago I was a member of the Golden Gate Live Steamers*. We had good attendance at the evening meetings because they always provided donuts. This isn't hard, people.
* No, it wasn't about clams or ironing.

Great photo! But everything I read or watch on videos about proper sail shape tells me that the Hawaiians sails are UPSIDE DOWN!

Our good friend Milly functions not only as Inverness YC Port Captain, but also Int. 110 Class President and West Coast measurer. Here she is recently measuring Kimo's new 110 at Bainbridge Island, WA, the newest addition to Fleet 19 in the Pacific NW.
The water level in the tube from bow to stern worked a treat.
Little did Milly realize that after measuring Kimo's 24' 110 that she would be invited aboard the fastest day sailor in Puget Sound, a 63' foot 110, tiller steered, and designed by Bob Perry.

Milly got close to HOKULE'A but the Bay Model dock gate was closed to the public..Nevertheless, she got this cool photo contrasting differences in the tallship MATTHEW TURNER and a Polynesian vaka (voyaging double canoe). Thanks, Milly!

It was a very interesting, cultural contrast between the Hokule'a and the Matthew Turner.

observation based opinion;
A> i have a soft spot in my brain for plywood box boats.
B> I believe that if it wasn't for George Olson, Bill Lee, & Ron Moore, we would have an active 110 fleet here in Santa Cruz, and a couple of them stored in the CBC driveway!
