As I head to bed, the count of retirees stands at 29. Conditions have
eased considerably with some on the handicap contenders making better time
than the leaders.

Sometimes its nothing you did. My theory is that besides changing galvanic
properties of underwater metals, like prop, nut, shaft shark, at a worst
case boat wiring deteriorates over time. This could result in more stray
current. Current not going back to negative of the bank, but instead

I'm impressed with "Teasing Machine", an Archambault 13. They are kicking
butt.

Was just reading the list of retirements. One boat retired due to damage
to bow thruster. At first I gave it the old raised eyebrow thing. On
second thought, I suppose it could be leaking such that the boat is taking

True, several years ago a Benetau 47 next to me almost sank out in the Lake
due to a recent faulty bow thruster install.

A lot of boats have been withdrawn because of damage to the bows and/or

of the high-tech materials fail under such conditions because the builders
simply did not know the limitations of the new materials prior to races

Since we were talking blowers last week, I wonder why C&C installed marine
blowers even on boats that didn't have gas engines?
I just today removed the rusted out ignition-protected blower in the stern
of my boat, which looked original. It had been disabled a while ago by a

I am pretty sure vaporized diesel will blow up like gasoline vapor. I know
vaporized cooking fat will. Don’t most of the fuel docks ask you to shut down
the engine and run the fan while fueling?
I had never thought of it as an air supply for the engine.
