    New Boat 4 Sled

    Dacron Hank-On Storm Jib for 30-36' boat - $250

It's in absolutely terrific shape (I never used it, and I don't think Gary did either). It has a 24" wire pendant attached to the...

    Hi all, LaDonna with Latitude 38 here, hijacking Rob's account for my own nefarious purposes. If anyone knows Mark Sykes, could you ask him to get in touch with me (preferably ASAP) at [email protected] or 415-383-8200 x109? Would like to talk to him about the Vallejo Race 2. Thanks so much!

    Website Glitch

    In case anyone noticed (and one did notice, which is how we know about it), when our web guy removed two drop-outs, a bunch of other racers were deleted. This, of course, happened late in the afternoon on Friday and we didn't find out till well after he'd left for the weekend. Soooo, hopefully...
