The title of the thread made me think of this:

Re: Figawi

Amazing how often it is 20+ at the start, although I can remember some races where it has stayed that way. I am scheduled to go but discovered last night that my jib has a rip in it. Hoping to get...

Re: I met Reid Stowe

This is right on. If the fellow had a hint of a sense of humor about himself I would have been much more interested in reading his musings.

Re: I met Reid Stowe

I followed his blog. He and Sonya (his common law wife), despite having an interesting story to tell, have an extraordinary talent for conveying it in a wholly self-indulgent yet boring style. It...

Re: Fastest route from Annapolis to NYC?

This is a pretty douchey response, Marc.

Re: race participation

Another event that we do that gets some non-racers racing is we combine it with a tennis tournament. Tennis in the morning and non-spin race in the afternoon. Each boat competes against each boat...

Re: race participation

I only started racing a few years ago and am now addicted. Some things that helped me get started: Mandatory non-spin events can make it less daunting. Pursuit races (with staggered starts based...

Re: Do all Beneteaus have iron keels?

Some of the older firsts were made with Iron and some were made with lead, even the same models. Don't know about the new ones.

Re: Beating to windward

Occasionally we have to put our preferences aside in favor of keeping our better halves happy. The wife has to be happy or we might have to find another hobby. And as I am usually behind the wheel...

Re: Beating to windward

I am a bit mystified by those who don't like to go to wind. It is definitely my favorite point of sail. My boat, like other S&S boats of its era, was designed to go to wind and when she settles...

re: Pearson ensign review

One of the most popular daysailers ever. Nice lines. Very large cockpit for social daysails. Popular one-design and active race fleets (not sure about where you are) so relatively easy to sell if...

Re: C&c 36

We had a 36 for several years and enjoyed her very much. Maybe a bit more tender than the 33 and 35. Way more head room than either one of them. We had not started racing yet so I can't speak to...

Re: Have you ever hit a shipping container?

I've always suspected that the thought of hitting a shipping container is one of those things you hear talked about disproportionately to the amount of times it actually happens. Sort of like great...

Re: Question for experienced boat owners/sailors

I can't see a substitute for hiring a reputable boat broker in San Diego and having them list the boat for you. Even a good boat like yours will likely not sell immediately, unless you are willing...

Re: Anyone Know of a Good Racing Watch?

There have been some good threads here on this subject, if you do a search. I have a couple of Ronstan racing watches that I have been happy with.

Re: Urgent-ish 45 lb. CQR on A Pacific Seacraft 31?

45 sounds like too much to me. I would think that 35 would be enough.

Re: Buying a 30-40 year old boat - your opinions

We couldn't be happier with our Swan. Much cheaper than a new comparably sized boat but sails beautifully, is stiff, seakindly and plows to wind. We even do very well PHRF racing. If you can find...
