    Half Moon Bay 2016

    What a terrific, fun, interesting, frustrating race! Spinnakers out the gate?!! Fast reaching south. Couldn't hold the symmetrical so went with white sails. And that wind hole. Yep, Brian called it earlier but I didn't listen. Saw a bunch of boats tacking west, but everything was going so...

    2016 SSS Drakess Bay Races Chatter

    That was an enjoyable sail, racing, not so much. After starting on time, and working my way out the Gate I found the predicted southerly not present. I swapped out the jib for a 125 for a bit more speed. After Duxbury I settle big spin and carried it to Drakes. Finished and got anchored just...

    2016 OYRA series and other YRA SH Racing

    Fun race to HMB. Two starters in the single handed division, Nightmare and Oscar, sailing out to R2, leaving it to port. The breeze was on in the bay but there was a big hole bust outside the gate between Point Bonita and Miles Rocks. Oscar sailed deeper and faster while I pinched, this paid...

    Silver Eagle Race June 24th

    What a lovely group of people:) Looks like they had a great time. Obviously a staged facade, notice no one is actually on the boat. This is the reality on my boat :eek:

    Nightmare's Saga

    Was going to post this on "Pimp my Ride" but that should be for pertinent SHTP related swag. I started doodling a logo for Nightmare and had a friend, who is a graphic designer, convert my doodle to a vector graphic. We sent the vector, after some fine tuning, to https://boatdecals.biz. No...

    Tacking in boats with mid-cockpit traveller?

    I feel your pain Ton, literally! I have the same setup and my current routine is improving. Sit in front of the traveller, hand steer, let the traveller drop, hand sheet and cleat the jib, set the A/P and start trimming and coming up. My cockpit is shallow and I do most of the work on my...

    Shorthanded Midwinters 2015/2016

    That was fun !! Had a good start with Ragtime! and TIDJ. Then Bob hit the afterburner and took off! Did two sets and douses with the spinnaker, of course if you were watching, you might call it something different! My biggest time killer was sorting out the jib, jib sheets, and the pole after...

    Nightmare's Saga

    While Nightmare is on the Bay waiting for the next Midwinters, Daydreamer is stuck here in the yard getting snowed on. I did build an A-frame to support the tarps. Freezing and thawing wrecks havoc on a boat. Cheers

    Half Moon Bay 2015

    That was a fun race! Lots of spinnaker time. Went for the route further out and felt like I was having a nice run. Looking at the finish times, I think I would have fared better if I had waited to flub the spinnaker douse until after the finish. I think I had the angle to finish with the...

    Nightmare's Saga

    Thursday I took Nightmare to KKMI for bottom paint, check rudder bushings, and change a thru-hull. I knew a fire had started in Amador county off Butte Mountain road. On the way home that night, coming into Angels Camp, I could see the flames on the ridge tops as the fire grew exponentially...

    " I briefly consider whether I should feel stood up. " Jackie, sorry to stand you up, it's not you, it's me...really! All kidding aside, I had the radio on but didn't catch your hail. I had decided to head further out and rounded Alcatraz to port by way of Point Bonita. Saw lots of spinnakers...

    Tide Talk at the Bay Model

    I found the class interesting and helpful. The high altitude photos were terrific. Kami explained where to find current relief and signs to look for. I enjoyed watching it all happen on the Bay Model with visual aids. Having read i bit and been told a few tips, this helped fill in some gaps...
