I can push separation between the window and deck in a few spots and the

I am hoping I can get the window of without breaking it, but then will need
to get the tape and caulk off to start over.

On the Hudson River, we use ToT at the club level and ToD for interclub

The rationale for ToT at the club level is roughly:
1. The RC doesn't need to know the exact length of the course. While we

Chuck,
Here is some video from a regatta a couple weeks ago. It was blowing 15-20
with gusts to 25. We were light on crew so we raced non-spinnaker.

As a former Catalina 30 owner it was interesting to observe that the spread
between a bare hull and a nicely outfitted one is very small. As there are
so many, the market seems to dictate a price. As the broker said when I was
selling--all the goodies won't get you any more money, they just mean yo

Chris,
What model do you have?
I just yanked my Gori 2-blade prop off my 34/36. I put it on last year and
when it first went on the boat shook like crazy. I got 100 yards out of the
marina, throttled up then turned around. The yard hauled the boat, check
the shaft for true, put it back in the wat

I have forgone lazy jacks. I like to watch my crew try to flake the
laminate sail. The more the better. When it is my wife and I do it, no
problem. 3 or more crew is really fun to watch.

I have been thinking about the shortcomings of PHRF recently and how
ratings can be challenged. http://www.phrf-nb.org/ has a description of the
process which is interesting. It tends to stack the odds against the "odd"
or older boat. If you can take the politics out of it, generally it will be

Some YRAs have moved to giving separate spin/nspin ratings because boats
with a fractional rig and blade jib (usually sprit boats) are viewed
as disadvantaged downwind with no spinnaker as they don't have a big jib to
pole out. From what I have seen mast head rigs pretty much always have the
same s
For Long Island Sound your TPS length can be 25% of J without penalty if
you only fly an Asym. You can also have a bigger Asym as SMW is measured as
J + TPS. However if plan to fly both a sym on a pole as well as the Asym
they whack you for -9.
