Following R2AK on-line continues to be great entertainment. What a great sail
- human powered adventure. Sailing Anarchy and 48 North's coverage has been
good, the tracker has been on my screen 5 + times a day since it started.
Calypso's co-owner and I were joking about adding 3 or 4 stationary bikes below
for speed in light air. I volunteered to stay on deck and drive. Based on my
last trip up the inside of Vancouver Island a boat like Calypso would do OK
going up wind in Johnstone Strait but would suffer in the common light air
conditions. We would eat and sleep well.
If we won the $10K first prize it would just about cover the stationary bikes
(used), the food, and the delivery costs back to Seattle. It would not cover
the physical therapy costs for a bunch of old guys working that hard to avoid
using auxiliary power.

Bear in mind that if you combine two scuppers into one then one of then will
probably not drain when heeled. Of course this only matters if you're sailing
and get water at your feet. :)

Anyone watching the R2AK? Too bad no C&C got into it... on the other hand,
Francis (crew on MOB* Mentality) sails a C&C 115.

Oh, yeah those look below waterline, I would want seacocks on them. I was
thinking your transom extended further back + up, but those are below the
bootstripe and close to the rudder.Â
You could also combine the two scuppers into one outlet and then plug or remove
a thruhull so you have one fewer. I assume those are deck scuppers and not
cockpit scuppers. That's how my deck scuppers are setup, and they don't need
rapid self bailing like the cockpit does.Â
