K9u20

My brother has one in Florida and he just bought a Nacra 5.2 so probably will sell the Megabyte. I will find out his plans in the next couple of days and report .

Cool ! Henderson SR 17 https://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/boa/d/racing-dinghy-henderson-sr-17/6683884829.html

One of my crew members Just told me that he was selling his SR 17. I've sailed against him and it is wicked fast. He sails it single-handed a lot but it is a better two person boat.

Johnson 18 is good for 2 handed racing. Can find the for under 4K.

IIRC hull #1 was later modified from a 15' to a 19' beam and a much taller mast. I remember sailing in a St Pete race week and it raced along with a standard 35 sailed by Tim Woodhouse.

V21 would be interested in looking into details on the mast in Savannah if you have any thanks

I believe Tigress started off life as Dr Scott Pipers "Pipe Dream" and based in Miami. First real race was the Wirth Monroe Palm Beach race pitted against the new Soveral 39 ""Locura" It was her first race also ! Dr Piper raced her in the SORC and local races out of Buscayne Bay Yacht Cub.

Haven't talked to anyone about a carbon rig. Can carbon be repaired.

I just bought an 18 foot sailboat. Overall good condition. I removed the old registration numbers from the bow and cleaned the hull with On/Off, heavy duty rubbing compound, and even tried wet sanding. You can still see the numbers. I don't need registration Numbers where I am using the boat so the old numbers can still be seen. Any ideas how to get this out ?

Looking for a Lightning mast. Can travel from Miami to Atlanta.

Alloy would work

Looking for a used mast from a viper 640 ( or similar sized mast) . I am in South Florida but could travel to pick up. Any leads appreciated.

Dave, I was unable to PM you. I found an article on the 1985 regatta but not The race times.

Yachting Magazine ran a One of Kind Regatta for dinghys back in approximately 1984. They published the elapsed time results in their magazine. ( remember when we were their target audience!!!) Does anyone have that article ? I am hoping to find a copy.

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the Open 5.00. I'm looking for a boat I can single or double hand, race in some assigned rating classes, and trailer it to areas to do a daysail. I really like the idea of the pivoting keel on the open 5.00 and the fact that it is self righting. Most of the areas I sail require you to launch in shallow water and then let the keel down as you get out a bit. It looks like a nice stable boat and reading about it appears to be fairly quick. Anyone have any experience with its speed versus similar type boatsand reading about it appears to be fairly quick. Anyone have any experience with its speed versus similar type boats
