Re: Stus-List Mountain sailing

Last August I did the Dillon open. 95 degrees, no wind and a water temp of about 38 degrees. I've been sailing here in Colorado since 2010. The shifts and gusts are incredible. A 4 minute triangle start run will not work here because you do not have 4 minutes of consistent wind. Believe me I've

Yup.  My first was a Venture 21.  I wanted a race boat like a 470 but my wife wanted a family boat, so we compromised and got the Venture.Next was a San Juan 24; talked her into it since it had a porta potty instead of a bucket.  What a fantastic difference in boats.Finally the C&C 30.  I love t

Like others, I used to harbor a bit of disdain for the M26 (26X) but have mellowed a bit.  For perspective, I used to own a Honda 250XL motorcycle.   Labeled a "scrambler", it was part dirt bike, part road bike.  It didn't excel at either. Recently one of my former crew just bought one of the Mc

I was out in Colorado for a family wedding in September and spent some time visiting my younger brother, who lives in Silverthorne near Lake Dillon. I was surprised by the number of larger boats there, including several full-keel, first-generation Bristols. I think I would own a J-24 or someth

Re: Stus-List Mountain sailing

I sailed on a J-24 in Lake Dillon back in 1990. She was the largest yacht in the fleet, but I was completely surprised by the number of small boats that sail in the lake during the 2 to 3 months that it is not frozen. Neat little YC as well. This month's Soundings has a small article (restori

Russ, Good Old Boat is a good old fashioned print publication. It's a pretty good magazine if you haven't had the chance to check it out. I've been a subscriber since about 2004, and bought all the prior issues on ebay. The magazine has only been published since about 1998. I will admit, t

I sail on Ghost Lake - 4280 ft in the Rockies. Much different from sailing at sea. Constant sail trimming - CONSTANT! The wind changes all the time. Some days you can do a 360 and be beating into the wind all through the turn. (A little poetic license there, ..but not much!) I've just been out t

A long time back I had a temporary membership card from the Lake Dillon YC, probably from a J24 regatta. My favorite backwoods lake regatta was on Flathead Lake in Montana. The YC was a large BBQ attached to a two hole outhouse. We ramp launched and hand raised masts. It was a great weekend.
