Hey Mark, I wish I was doing the Ocracoke Race. One of my crew is… My wife is traveling from California and I need to be back at the ranch in Durham right after Saturday PHRF series, as my daughter (13YO) is coming home from the Beach week trip and someone has to be there. I did try to make other arrangements and just didn’t work out ! ☹ Next year for sure looks like a fun one !! Dragons Breath Regatta is on the list for sure yes !! Look forward to meeting and a fun friendly race with a consistent 15 knots ! power of positive….
Thanks and Good Luck out there !!

John, I hope you are doing the Ocracoke race this Saturday. Weather is looking nice, tho a bit on the light side. We're racing non-spin, but have both the sym and asym chute to play with for the ride back to Washington on Sunday. If we don't see you this weekend, We'll see you at starting line of the Dragon's Breath regatta in August. Unfortunately, still racing with the 84 PHRF.

( unofficial ) We desyoyed him. Really just sharing my excitement as it's not a crazy group of high end race boats. Maybe get 8-10 boats if lucky 5-6 in the JAM class Doubt I will change anything else. Just Trying to keep the racing scene alive on the neuse, and waiting to get killed by Charlie on water phantom with his crack crew and crazy sails :) we have like 2800 boats registered in Oriental and lucky to see 15 out on Sunday! Really thought there would be more of a racing scene but I am having fun and learning! I do have a spinnaker but would be up against J24 and few pros on Etchells in that class! If anyone wants to help me get acquainted with the symetrical spin I would really love to fly it ! Looking for crew for this Saturday too! :) John Conklin S/V Halcyon John Conklin South East Sales and Business Development cel 301-412-8991 j.conk...@marraforni.com<mailto:j.conk...@marraforni.com> www.marraforni.com<http://www.marraforni.com> ________________________________ From: CHARLES SCHEAFFER <cscheaf...@comcast.net><mailto:cscheaf...@comcast.net> Sent: Monday, June 10, 2019 9:36:10 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: John Conklin Subject: Re: Stus-List Another C&C Win ! Glad you are finding success racing and enjoying your boat. My two cents: The ammount of prep needed will be determined by the competition. So if you're winning, relax. If you get some boats stripping out their cabins, or some "drysailed race only boats", you may need to slim down a lot. PHRF allows removing the cushions but not furniture. Still, many boats remove the table, stove, and pump all tanks dry. The most important thing for us was scrubbing the bottom prior to race. Our fleet had a few "mirror bottom" boats; w burnished bottom paint and one J24 that lived on a trailer and was craned in hours before a race. All with new sails and experienced crew. Lightening the boat is more important for light winds especially against well prepared higher rating boats. We raced one summer and never saw race winds above 8 knots. In one race, we followed a Viper 640 around the triangle course. There just wasn't enough wind to move the bigger, heavier boats. On our short triangle races, of 4.5 miles, my 93 rated 34R had to finish 5 minutes ahead to keep my place against a J28 rated 172. I couldn't afford new sails, but could afford a Hookah and regular scrubbing proved worth the investment. Have fun.

Will Probably remove 100’ of 5/16 chain and 9.9 LEHR outboard for next PHRF Race, but really not required we were a good 6 -10 min ahead of those guys on a 7.5 NM course 😊 Last PHRF we came in first even correct against a 228 rating !
