Hey all, long time lurker... never posted, but stepping up my game. Shallow water sailor here from West Michigan. Potential crew chum if anyone is looking. Thought I would say Hi and at least bump up the thread....

There are lots of rides available in Musketucky...PM me if you are interested. We are always looking for new blood...and have some openings this year...

What are you looking to crew on? When? (Weds nights, weekends, both?) and where? (Holland, Muskegon, Grand Haven?)

Rides are available.

I will leave the customary greetings to others.

I currently sail an MC. Not much on a bigger water boat. Just love the opportunity. Would love to sail Wednesday nights mostly (GH or MKG) as I sail the MC on the weekends. expirience

I talked to Ragged Edge last night. He sounds interested in staying in Musketucky for 2011. I think he may even look into one of the new big slips at MYC.

Received confirmation last night that Ragged Edge has put his name on one of the new big slips at MYC for 2011.

RE appeared to have no regard for the safety of others or their own boat whenever i saw them race. RE also had little knowledge of the rules, if it weren't for people being smart enough to not risk their own boat even when they're in the right, there would've been some serious carnage almost every race RE was in, while they raced in Holland.

Did anybody ever protest him in Holland? I know,nobody protest on Wed nights but if what you say is true and no action taken then you have trained them that it is OK!

That's odd. I've been on the same race course with Ragged Edge hundreds of times and didn't seem to notice. Maybe Muskegon sailors in general just "have no regard for the safety of others or their own boats", because RE fits right in up here.

Haven't made it out to MYC much this winter.

Getting the impression that the consensus is that the new docks may not be ready for my normal May 1st launch.

I am also trying to organize an OTW clinic for May at MYC. Anybody, Fetz, got the scoop on the installation schedule?

FYI after the board meeting last night I was able to dispell a few rumors lurking around the MYC:

1. The dock project is on budget. (over in a few areas, under in others)
2. We are very near hiring a new manager. Final interviews are next Wednesday.

I will now go back to my normal posts....Whale Balls...I like booze....Fetz blows...and so on and so forth...

A sea voyage is like a trackless train ride across the water fields, relying only on the principles of physics and magic to keep your vessel floating above the water on a thin cushion of air. Unfurl your sea wings with today’s Groupon: for $199, you get 2.5 hours of semi-private sailing for two people on Pianissimo from Lakeshore Sail Charters (up to a $487.50 value).

Lakeshore Sail Charters guides seafarers on a serene, luxurious cruise around Lake Michigan, enticing passengers to relax on board one of the three ships in its fleet—including Pianissimo, a 2011 Beneteau Oceanis 50. On each voyage, aqua-adventurers are guided by the steady, calloused hands and windblown visages of U.S. Coast Guard–licensed Captain Bruce Randall and the ship’s doctor, Karen Randall. At the whim of the wind's desire, no two tours on Pianissimo are alike. In between basking in the picturesque skyline views, passengers can peruse Pianissimo's amenities, including a radio, a CD player for playing Arnold Schwarzenegger Making Ocean Sounds, and a microwave.

Sailing times are at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Mondays–Fridays and 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays. The Wednesday 8 p.m. sail requires an additional fee of $30 per person.

I got the racing agenda from the owner/skipper of Aftershock, and we are in for all MYC stuff including Wednesday nights. There may have been some dis-information scattered about, so I hope this will help clear that up. Now I am ready for summer, lets go racing!

Cool, will you be doing the mac also as in previous years, would love to see a J-35 OD start. 3 35's from Muskegon already signed up, 2 Chicago area boats, and at the owners meeting in Chicago there was a verbal commitment from one of the Milwaukee based boats.

Nope, no mac. NOOD and VERVE may be the only away events.

Bummer no Mac...you guys always do well

As of yesterday, Aftershock is signed up for the Mac. Harbor Springs is not decided yet.

Glad you will be joining us. Now we just need to convince the Milwaukee contingent to race with us rather than the DH division.

I heard from Milwaukee yesterday and it is not looking good. Looks like they are going DH.

So much for the verbal commitment at the meeting, to each his own I guess. Am just happy that MYC is bringing 4 OD boats to the event, two more cities with that kind of representation and we would be set. :-)

Saw SeaDog a couple weeks ago. Body seems to be healed up pretty good, boat not so much. Still tied up with the godforsaken lawyers. Doesn't sound like she's going to splash this season.

We may have this fixed! Should know by the end of the week. Level 35 section!

Excellent to hear! Good luck with getting a level section. That will make it so much easier on Ron.

Schock 35s and Thomas 35s from Chicago considering joining the fun. Question is, section like GL70s - still handicapped, or OD/level like T-10s?
I think GL70 style would be more palatable to all.

Busy day in the barn. STD, Bad Dog, Ricochet all getting worked on. Never seen so many people there at once.

I had no idea that Torresen Marine had a barn? Where are the animals?

I prefer the term 'hi tech indoor heated storage facility'...or 'shed'

Nope. CYC won't allow it and is having fits about the GL-70's which is why getting this set up has been difficult. We will race level in the section and use the fastest rating of the section for the all the boats. Shocks have the fastest ratings in ORR. J/35 are slowest and a fair range within the J/35 fleet themselves. BD was IRR measured in 89 by the previous owner so they use those measurements for BD others get the 1d measurement or have only been free board measured. J35 and the Thomas's have raced level in Lake Huron for years very successfully. Going 1D and not having the 51 ft C&C in our class to waterline us to death if the wind kicks up on a reach

Gosh you weren't able to get them to apply that T-10 ORR rating to the level 35 class I had suggested? Would passing the hat and making "donations" to the RC help? Just kidding, thanks again for your hard work.
