Well, that was quick! Indeed both the above are true. TALLY HO was overall winner of the Fastnet Race in a gale in 1927, RED ROOSTER won the Fastnet in 1969, and iMP won it all in 1977, 50 years after TALLY HO.

As I write. TALLY HO's 17,000 pound keel is being poured at Port Townsend under the supervision of Doug Brouwer of Santa Cruz, who has poured more than 2,000 keels at his Watsonville boatyard, including keels for America's Cup yachts, and pretty much all the production boats built in Santa Cruz since 1976 including Santa Cruz 27's, Moore 24's, Express 27's, and Wilderness 30's all the way to the current line of WylieCat boats. During the heyday of Santa Cruz boatbuilding, Doug Brouwer would pour as many as 5 keels/day.

Gary, if you will email me your address, I will send you your copy of Jackie's new book. Congrats. skipallanatsbcglobaldotnet.

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 mine grew up in the boat and sailed to Pitcairn in it when he was a teenager. His family tuna fished it for years out of Brookings.

Christine and I are really bummed to hear this.

OK, all would be routers, delivery skippers, and interested parties, now is your chance to win some Marianne's Macapuno icecream on CBC's deck. As many satisfied CBC guests will attest, this is not a joke..

Synthia is leaving Richmond YC Monday, 2/17/22, at 1 pm, with two crew on a delivery of Nat's 33 foot, Figaro 2, ENVOLEE, PHRF rating of 51, bound for Santa Barbara. Estimate what day/what time of their arrival and closest guess will win. One guess only, and it must be submitted by Sunday evening, 8 pm, to be eligible. Time to break out your coastal chart, dividers, chart plotter, calculator, and weather forecasts.

Let me add some additional information that will impact our ETA to Santa Barbara.

1. We intend to depart Richmond YC at 1300 Monday 2/21.
2. We will linger for a little bit off the coast of Pacifica for a moment of remembrance for my mom's oldest sister that just passed away at age 93.
3. We intend to anchor after dark.

** one of the above is an untruth.

And I will supply fresh frozen pomegranate arils to go with the Macapuno ice cream.
