Is it the Dragon?

Awarding Macapuno is above my pay grade but that should be it. It's cool that each Fife dragon was unique for the boat.

So that's what it is. From Skip's first photo, I thought it was a naked woman, feet forward, arms raised, mass of hair trailing behind.

As best I recall, competitive Snipes had a halyard lock at the masthead to eliminate the compression force from the halyard. It was all about controlling mast bend. So, with your “update,” what’s up with that, or what?

Since it still belongs to the Foundation, the extent of the update is to replace the chewed-up main halyard sheave. But if I buy it, I'm thinking of making it into an elegant knockabout with hiking straps. The hard core Snipers will hate me.

The view, east to west, Wed. (12/7) at sunset from the Depot Hill Fossil Cliff was wondrous. The sun set and full moon rose simultaneously, with red window reflections from homes around Monterey Bay . In the absence of Venus, bright Mars was on stage, visible to the naked eye, becoming tangent to the moon and then going into eclipse .
Below, hundreds, if not thousands of birds gathered, making the calm Pacific look like a geyser plain of splashes. Mostly pelicans and cormorants, with terns thrown in for good measure. What a circus!
Thanked our lucky stars...

Anyone looking for a project, here's an available, full keel, '79, Cape Dory 28. My guess is they would pay you to take it away, hihi.
More seriously, if you wanted a strong, fast, ocean worthy, ready to go boat for Bay, Coastal, or SHTP, Synthia's Hawkfarm 28 EYRIE is for sale..

Poor boaty !!!!!

We've all lost our hats/caps overboard, especially on windy SF Bay. What boater lost a cap overboard in June, 2022, that has garnered more than 355,000 viewers on YouTube alone? A COB recovery was not attempted. Had you been fortunate to be sailing near the Bay Bridge and made the retrieval, you would have been well rewarded for its return.
