2012 TP Qualifier

Hey, I'm wondering who is planning to head out as a group on a qualifier sail in the next couple months... and when?

(I might go if the timing is right--no, Rob, I'm not entering the race! Or I might hang out at Drakes Bay and help with comm.)

Paul,

I am tentatively planning to do my qualifier around the end of April. I can't speak for everyone, but I know that "Cookie Jar", "Rushmoore", "Domino" and some others are also looking to do a qualifier as a group.

"LatePac" was great in 2010. We met up in Sausalito the night before, hung out and ate together and then all went out the gate together at about 4 AM to catch an ebb.

Best,

Ronnie

Moore 24 "US 101"

Hey guys

You can add Little Bo Peep to that list as well. I need a bit of a heads up since I have to fly in but count me in :)
 
Late PAC

Due to my shoulder injury (on the LONGPAC) I'm a long shot for doing the SHTP but would love to join in on the qualifier.
 
Ronnie, et al .

Count me in but not on a J105 as originally planned. Bought a Quest 30 from Steve Taft but am looking at more like early to Mid-May. Need to learn to sail the thing first.

"Flight Risk"
 
As of 18:00, Whitall ("Slacker") had 69 miles to go to finish the 582nm Guadalupe Island Race, thus completing his SHTP qualifier. By the way, he's leading the race! Check the PSSA website for more info.

Go the Slack!
 
Ronnie, et al.

I also need to do a qualifier on my Quest 30. Am thinking Faralones Solo as a warm-up on 12 May and then qualifier a week or so later. Leaves a month to fix anything that breaks.

I am running slightly behind schedule on boat prep and this is my new plan. 2010 we did it exactly 1 month before and I think this year will be the same way for US 101. John, i'd be happy to sail out the gate alongside you if the timing works.

cheers,

ronnie
 
Looks like i might be able to participate to SHTP. Keep your fingers crossed. Will do my best to take the boat up to SF for some practice races, and if time permits will join you (if more of you are doing it together) for "moral support" during your qualifier. I have just completed the Guadalupe Island race, so i am set to go!!!

Cheers

Jerome
 
I really hope you join us for SHTP. I think this race has been needing a mini for a long time... or a fleet of minis!

Adrian
 
Qual.

Is the schedule still real ? Maybe head out the gate May 30 ?

Howdy all,
I am pushing very hard to get Mouton Noir, the Garcia Passoa 47 ready for the TransPac. Although I did the longPac in it a while ago, I need to do another qualifier. I am hoping to get out the gate circa May 30. Are there others headed out around that time? I am a little flexible, so perhaps we can be out there at the same time.

Michael Jefferson
 
sounds like my entry has been accepted ;-) at least, the check didn't bounce! See you in SF soon. I am planning on taking my boat there probably end of May.
 
left Friday morning and it was quite a nasty ride!! Was anyone else out there? At least it was quick - 35 knots and lots of breaking waves. Checked the box..
 
Time is running out to complete the qualifier. Anyone planning to sail out the gate this weekend?
Alex, how long did the qualifier take you?

Mike
 
Hey everyone
I am still needing to do my qualifier and am wondering if anyone else is still needing to go out as well. I have a tentative plan to go out on sunday but I am a bit flexible. I ended up with engine trouble and have been in Sausalito waiting for repairs and should be ready to go after tomorrow. You can email me if you like [email protected] This little chicken would love to have company out there :)

Jen Mooney
 
Hey Jen, I noticed Bo Peep's berth empty and wondered if you were out there. Durned engines! Good luck to you, I know you can do it.
