Re: Rudder Rebuild, Spinnaker Thoughts
Welcome as well. I'm sure you'll soon find out why we love these boats, once you start racing them. I don't have a lot of time to go into it now but I'll give you the short version of how I have Wooglin set up. - Guy hooks on the rail just far enough to reach them from the cockpit. I still use a dow...

'11 Western Nationals
This years Western Nationals are in the books and were once again a big success. The folks from Fleet 43 can write the book on how to host a top notch event. The weather turned in time for 3 days of sun and great winds. Ten Mile Lake was up to her usual tricks with big time shifts, wind pressure all...

Re: Handling Gusty Conditions
Dan, Branin and Mike, plus the other 17 skippers at the NAs, it was great to finally meet and put faces to what up until last weekend, were only names on the internet. What a fun group of sailors! It's great to see how that energy translates into fleet building, especially with the direction fleet 8...

2011 Swiftsure
It looks like some of our SJ21 sailors from Fleet 5 - Canyon Ferry, MT not only sailed Alan Bock's Laser 28 in the 103 mile Cape Flattery race in the Swiftsure Classic, but ended up kicking some butt as well. After 28 hours of sailing out the Straights of Juan de Fuca and back, it looks like they fi...

Re: 2011 Seattle NOODs
Well, we didn't make our goal of 20 boats but the 10 skippers that did make the effort were treated to 12 races over the 3 days. Total event participation was down this year as well. With a not so promising forecast, rain and winds 2-4, we lucked out once again... no rain! Thursday night Fleet 1 hos...

Re: How to: Select & Install an Adjustable (not split) Back
Ben, Here is a shot of the mainsheet bridle and head-knocker system used on both Blue Pearl and Kermit, two of the top boats out west. It's way too simple yet does what you want it to, center the boom when fully sheeted. Plus it totally clears up the cockpit. I used this set-up last weekend for a re...

Re: Registered for North Americans?
Just booked airfare to Florida for a wedding the weekend before the NAs. Now we just need to fill out the rest our itinerary so we end up in Bridgeton on Thursday. I hope Mark W has a boat reserved for us. Looking forward to meeting everyone on the east side. We're going to try the Best Western, 3-d...
