Hey Jack. Thank for asking. Actually Subic was not that bad. Both Misty and Cheese are ok. And Jo in Manila is fine. Manila had a lot of flooding. It was the summer capital, Baguio, up north that got really hammered. Being a mountain top city, the winds were vicious. But the flooding was especially bad. That is what progress gives you. You cut down all those threes and what do you expect.

Not sure what rating system would allow this? I know under IRC you either have Genoa/Jib attached to the forestay or Spinnaker which is not attached to the forestay. And spinnakers have girth measurement ratios to the foot that would never allow you to cut a Spinnaker flat enough to go up wind.

As I know it, LtSkin is the racing version of Taffetta. Our wardrobe are carbon string sails with LtSkin on both sides.

The club where I keep my boat is very close to a fresh water source (river) and as a result, we have fast growth. So? Any suggestions?

It is good to have a Cargo Officer! It is there job to ???

With my younger son Mikey. We met Sean later and that is part of the game plan. Do some battles with Beau Geste.

I heard that she will be going to HK for the China Coast Regatta in October? Maybe a show down with Beau Geste?

I need to give credit to Etienne Pascual who took the photo!

This Tri just showed up,here in Subic Bay. Was told another Scallywag? Anyone know the scoop?

I am a Harken dealer but sadly I have gone back to Tuff Luff as I have had to replace my Harken foils twice on both boat after several seasons each time. Yes they do get brittle.

What about a Wheel? The IMX38 and 45 had these Wheels below deck. Cleaner with a playable line?

I use the thickest jumper cables I could find clipped to each shroud and over the side into the water to hopefully re-rout a strike??? Useless???

I use a 9V battery to run my T121. I usually go for about six months till I need to replace.
