    Nightmare's Saga

    Here are the solar panels mounted and cross braced to the stern pulpit. They are running through a Victron MTTP 75/15 charge controller. With good sun it will run the autopilot and other systems 24/7. Never, ever, change anything before you go offshore !! I had the system working for the OYRA...

    LongPac 2017 Tracking and Position Reporting + Chatter

    2017 LongPac Report It’s Monday afternoon and I just got home and finished unpacking from the race. Even after writing in my log, it is all a bit of a blur but writing helps. This was my first LongPac and a lot of other firsts along with it. Hopefully it will all fill in. I camped out...

    Rope Ladder

    Any LongPac racers need an emergency boarding ladder? I made an extra. Three rungs approximately 12 inch spacing, about 6 feet overall. LongPac racers get first dibs, any SSSer after that. Cost, free:}

    Race Documents

    The NOR and Jibeset require copies of three documents; Qualifying sail. EPIRB/ Comm. Life Raft Cert. I tried to upload an ocean sailing resume, but it didn't seem to take. I have a Mac, so it is a pages document, similar to MS word. What specific information is required for the EPIRB/ Comm...

    Nightmare's Saga

    My E-rudder arrived, some assembly required. I laid up three layers of 1/2 inch, 5 lb divinycell for a core. Almost ruined though. I didn't put any release under it when I vacuum bagged it to the floor of my shop.:mad: Fortunately some light chiseling freed it! I made a couple of NACA 0012...

    Nightmare's Saga

    Here's what I've been up to lately. Bought couple of 100 watt solar panels and some 316 tubing for a rack. Fastened the panels together and made some clamps out of a piece of aluminum. I'll cross brace the rack / arch to the stern pulpit. Nightmare is now wired with a Victron 75/15 MPPT charge...

    I Have a Spot

    I have a Spot tracker, one of the earlier models. Don't think it has ever been used. Has all original packaging. Any SSSer wants to use it, I will make a super-duper deal! :) I can bring it to RTR skippers meeting. gca at goldrush dot com 209795509nine Greg Nightmare

    Three Bridge Fiasco Pictures

    What a terrific race. A little busy at the Bay Bridge for my taste!! Tried to stay outside, but jibed too soon and wound up in the congestion! Here are a few pics.

    Nightmare's Saga

    The Berkeley Midwinters Series last Sunday was a bust on more than one count. Yes, the wind never appeared, of any significance anyway. Yes, I was almost out of gas when I headed over there. Made it back with a pint to spare. The worst of it came when I activated the autopilot and kept...

    2016 Sail Down to Sequoia Yacht Club

    I know a bunch of people missed a really good time! Conditions for the sail-down looked pretty light as we motored out of Marina Bay Yacht Harbor. Although, as we approached The City, the fog line rolled across the bay, the breeze filled in, and everyone had a pleasant sail all the way to...
