    Hi, is there a racing class for boats that have a phrf rating over 200? Love racing, but it would be nice to race against boats that have similar PHRF ratings. I know handicaps put all boats on the same level, but finishing last and then winning is not the same. Any input would be...

    Hello everyone! This year I purchased a Telstar 28 trimaran and am racing it at my club. Unfortunately we have not found any data for a PHRF on this design and are trying to make it up/narrow it down. Does anyone out there possibly have ratings that they have used at their clubs for this...

    When you get the chance, go see Maiden ! It's the story of the 1989 Whitbread Around the World race with the first all women crew. The present day interviews, fabulous on-board, real time footage and the race results combine into a powerful statement of women's sailing abilities.

    Hello everyone, I just finished coding an app for Android that easily calculates TOD racing calculations. It features abilities to calculate times for multiple boats, save race results, and compare classes/races. I'd love for you guys to download it, try it out, and give some feedback so that I...

    After researching the sailing community in the PNW and I learned quickly that sailing is not a hobby; it is a way of life, inhabited by a tight-knit community woven together by lovable, quirky and sometimes edgy characters. It is a unique way of life that not many of us have access to. I found...

    Hi all, This is more a discussion without clear answer but still i would like to watch the debate to understand the various view points and parameters... So the question is following. When purchasing my old 28ft boat there was a radial head cruising chute included. This was almost never used it...

    So, uh, new to Lake Erie sailing -- I learned to sail in the Pacific Northwest -- but surely there's more action on Lake Erie than this forum suggests... I live in Akron and I don't have a boat, but I've got the itch again. Moved here two years ago and have some weekly cruising and beer can...

    This year I have really gotten into racing in a friend's Sweden 36. We are in the racing class (usually leading the pack) so I have been surrounded by good sailors and have learned a lot. I am wondering who here has/does race their Spirit 23? (Silverado you mentioned in a post you do. Often...

    I am proud to be a Bristol owner today! Dan Stadlander with his 1969 Bristol 39, Mirari, just single handed and took first place in his class 4! Passing 1-ist class, 1-2nd class and 6-3rd class boats! Out of the pack of 27 boats, two turned back, one with battery issues and one with a broken...

    Question for you rules people! Port tack boat inside the zone crosses clean in front of a starboard tack boat right on the edge of the zone (possibly outside). She then bears down to the mark passing close-hauled, i.e. comfortably ahead. Because she is slow the starboard tack boat, within the...

    I've come to you guys in need of help, I'm from southern California and have been on the water my whole life, be it surfing, diving, or spending weeks on Catalina fishing and hiking and I've spent a lot of time on/around boats as well. I have always had a huge passion for the ocean and sailing...

    Hey ya'll! I'm a teenage guy who's possibly starting a small-boat sailing team here in Williamsburg, Virginia, on the James River, due to the fact that there are no small-boat racing teams here in Hampton Roads. I will probably be starting with around 5-6 people, but I expect that the team would...

    Amazing stories from a tough race! At 1530 on Tuesday, 11 June, the last boat sailing to Newport in the 34th running of the biennial Annapolis to Newport Race was 39.4NM from the finish doing 5.9kts. The Hunter 340 Brigadoon will surely welcome the sound of the horn as they cross the line...

    Good morning! I'm a completely inexperienced human being when it comes to sailing - I listen to Edmund Fitzgerald at least once a week, I've been 'tubing' on a lake and I've gone on a Carnival cruise, and that about sums up my seamanship so far ;) That being said, I am writing a short story...

    Hey, I started sailing when I 11 years old. Must most competitive boat I got into was the RS Feva. It is a great youth boat with amazing amount of competition. I managed to work my way up into national class squad and trained all winter. Me and my crew are definitively high wind junkies! Here...
