Just wondering what is with all these 'sticky' things that seem to be locked-in at the top of the forum pages......regular entries now get posted UNDER them, and one has to scroll down every time to see if there is anything new going on.

Granted, Skip's entries are timely, useful and informative, but now that all the racer's have no doubt studied them to death and no doubt printed them off, (as I have) could they be put somewhere else - saved - just in a different section, or transferred to the SHTP page somehow, somewhere??

Or, we will all have to figure out how to make our new topics in to 'stickies' so they slot in at the top of the page.

There may be extra traffic on web page and forum during the race and it would make it easier for new folks to use, if you could do this.

I'll bring the splitter to the next SHTP meeting unless you need it before then.

I will be listing my Black Soo 31' shorthanded offshore racer: 4500lbs, 1800lbs bulb keel, very easy to shorthand. It's the most winning shorthanded boat on the west coast including 6 overall SSS season championships. It's in NorCal on a trailer for $15k.
Re: Downwind Rating --

Have you looked at the recently revised DW ratings? VALIS (my Pacific Seacraft 44) got much-appreciated adjustment, from 81 to 99. Some boats ratings were unchanged, and I have no idea what the PHRF rating folks are using to calculate the changes (or the base ratings for that matter).
Hello , I just saw that you visited my page and that you have a Cal20 ! my skip and I are working on getter her ready for a trip out in the big O , do you have any suggestions for us ? thanks
Hi John,

I saw you at WM yesterday. Listen, when I got home I noticed one of the items I bought was missing. It is an inline red LED light (6 LEDs). Do you know if it just didn't make it into the bag? You can reach me at [email protected].

Take care of that finger...

Hello Mark, Thanks for the write up. I am working on logistics. Obviously I have to get the boat back. I am looking at your schedule and thinking about coming down early to do one of your earlier races, just to play in the So Cal area. I grew up at King Harbor (a few blocks away). In fact as a toddler I watched it being built.

Brian
Hi Brian,

I'd be happy to help in any way I can to get you down here. We're hoping for a good turn-out this year. So far I know of at least 9 boats planning to race, and several more interested. Several folks down here are gearing up and using the Guadalupe Island race as a qualifier for the SHTP (Horizon & Slacker) and the Pac Cup (Prankster, Thriller & Bullitt). In 2008, the fleet was decimated by rough weather at the start leading to gear malfunctions. Runaway was the only boat to finish that year in what turned out to be a painful light-air finish.

I have a write-up that Frank Ross did on the race a few years ago. I'll forward it to you. One of the memebers did quite an exhaustive statistical analysis of the buoy readings a few years ago. I'll see if I can find that as well. There might be some write-ups on the conditions of previous years in the old archive PSSA SOLO newsletters (on the website).

Hello Mark,

Thanks for response. Any info you can forward would be appreciated. I have been considering this race. Weather in past years, per buoy reports, seems pretty light, although I am well aware of conditions beyond Conception.
I may get my act together for this event but logistics from here are a stretch.
Yesterday, I met a young woman who is sailing south to Mexico in her Contessa 26. She's paralyzed from the ribs down. When their engine failed, she and he husband rowed the boat into Monterey Harbor. Gently stretch and breathe everyday. Your position and focus allows you a greater chance at the starting line than most of us who go to every meeting can even hope for. You can do it!

Good Morning,

I would very much appreciate to get your explanation about why my posting regarding emergency rudder issues of yesterday has been ceised. I thought it might be of interest for your readership whats being available on the market in terms of safety at sea today.

Of course I am aware that Hans Bernwall is considering this as his personal playground, even knowing that we of windpilot are manaufacturing SOS rudder now since decades.

But while this might be an issue amongst competitors I thought that a forum administration would be able to spread useful information to their readers without restricting information that might be benefitial and important.

Perhaps I should invite you for a closer examination to our product range... very certainly you may realize which kind of product improvements have been possible at a time where so many competitors standing still during decades.

Thanks in anticipation for your answer to [email protected]

kind regards

Hey Bob,

Sorry, I forgot to send my check in for the dial-in seminar. I thought I had already mailed it. Will do so tonight.

I have been a follower of the SSS for quite a while (nearly making the leap last time) but have "come to my senses" using my wife's terms. I will be coming to Anacortes area this week and would like to meet you over coffee, beer - your choice. Pls call my cell 509-430-6839 to set something up. I'll be getting to Everett tomorrow, 9/3 (Navy appointments) and be in the area thru Sunday (chartering for a week from AYC). Looking forward to meeting you, Terry Filson
Awesome job Matt! Thank you.
Looks like Reuben and I both posted Rob/Tiger Beetle's last email. Can you delete my version? My fault.
Hey, Paul~

My email account automatically purges messages so I no longer have your address or phone number. I just wanted to wish you luck and fast sailing on the Long Pac. I'll be enviously following the race via the transponders. One of these days I'll be out there with you.

Best,
Lee
