Heres a couple of photos from a couple of sails this past two weeks: Two weeks ago: And a little night sailing: The drums are getting louder! Stumbling

The owner prior to the Kiwis (Halfbaked) had a custom “Fattish” head main with a little extra roach made by his crew, Clacker (Bremen Sails.) In addition, there is a screecher that fits the foretriangle, for a little more off the wind horsepower and to give a little balance to the low aspect main. I took her out for the first time last week with my son, Gomong the Barbarian. We will be out next weekend to test the screecher and do some rig tuning. I’ll post some pictures once I get them off the camera. Stumbling

Looking forward to seeing you out there this year! Someone else will have to do the play by play calling this time, as I will be one of Tribe on the move... - Stumbling

Once more does the time of the year bring the sound of drums, calling the tribe together again for another adventure down the coast of Florida! Stumbling

Crewed on both the 30 (Phantom) and A number of the 28s, back then. Yes, the 28s are faster, but the 30 was a lot more comfortable on a longer race! Wavelength 30 #10, (formerly Phantom) for sale a few years ago. In need of a severe refit. http://www.boatersresources.com/bfs_detail.php?adid=469558

I have a severe weakness for a dazzle paint job! Stumbling

23 foot limit hull length in the Watertribe events. Also, I think all the shallow water filters would nix a fixed keel. (Further review of pix is a centerboard. Still would be too much for 3 max crew limit) It would be an interesting ‘engine of torture’ for the Y2K! (I’m keeping that name for my next boat) Stumbling

I had found some pixs from Antigua RW 1986 of the Jack Knife crew preparing to do Lay Day battle. Was going to send copies to Dr. Greenberg but found he had passed away last year. Very nice gentleman. Will post once I scan them. - Stumbling

Or revive Nuclear sails! I did some googling and I could not even find a picture of the old sails in action. - Stumbling

It’s not fit to even send a Viking to Valhalla! - Stumbling
