    Who's Going? Getting Ready

    I signed up for LongPac. Still need a qualifier with Akumu. I've been around the Farallones a few times, just not with this boat. Might get out there before the SHF race, otherwise that will do. Most of the boxes for SERs are checked. Added AIS already. Need a storm jib and maybe a third reef...

    Seventy48

    This isn't about sailing, rather a sailor without a sailboat doing something on the water. This last summer I started looking at the Seventy48 as something to do. Last August, my wife and I, sister and brother in law were out for a leisurely paddle on Lake Alpine when I sprung the idea on them...

    I'm in a Bind, Literally

    It is totally my own fault. When I installed the new lower rudder bushing I purposely left it tight, thinking a little extra friction would let me leave the tiller for a moment without engaging the autopilot. However during the Farallones race I realized this just won't do. The little bit of...

    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...
