that really sucksOK, I have never witnessed anything like this. Last race of a season championship, two boats are virtually tied for first place going into today's race. The biggest and fastest boat in today's fleet is not in the running due to lack of participation in previous races. The big boat is winning handily when she suddenly does a 180 and heads towards the fleet behind her. She blankets one of the 1st place contenders allowing her friend, the other contender, to surge ahead. I don't believe there were any fouls and no protests were filed. Any comments?

You must be getting forgetful. The yellow boat and the burgundy boat (with the same hand on the helm) have both done it on several occasions in years past. I think you were even on one of boats they came back and blanketed.

All this over a CHRF race?
That's not the point. I was asking for comments on the situation. I just wanted to find out if there was a rule for this besides "unsportsman like conduct".
Since you were in the race maybe you could describe what you saw. I was on Race Committee.

I was checking out 'the rocket' in the yard last Sunday. I noticed the keel was set up for a not-yet-installed kelp cutter. The rudder was still covered for painting. I was wondering if there's any anti-kep provisioning for the rudder as well?

It's the Holiday Regatta both days which will decide some of the yearly Championship winners. Go Skian Dhu! A crew bottle of Mt. Gay will be in order (along with a change of clothes).
I will assume the racing is right off the club tomorrow from 12 noon - about 4PM. Looking dismal from a wind strength standpoint. A solid West swell probably won't be surf-able by anyone other than jet skis and surf/paddle boards. Sorry folks. Not much better (At the moment) for Sunday...

- Late this afternoon, Rudy Jarabak passed away. As you all know, he was a member of many years. Rudy was deeply rooted in OMBAC from Rugby, to OMGarage, and he was the OTL set-up King! Rudy could be a real pain in the ass, but he was OUR pain in the ass. We will all miss him.
May he ride that Hi-Lift in the sky to a place where there's no pain, no suffering, and every day is the 1st day of the 1st weekend of OTL.
God bless him

Dennis St. Onge shared OMBAC - Old Mission Beach Athletic Club's
WORD !!! RUDY was RUDY and the World was on Notice !! If ya knew him ya know that's all ya need to say about that! Was great to see him this past OTL he even sliped out of character and was nice a few times :-0
To know him was to Love/Hate him. He was and shall ever be Larger than Life !!!! If ya don't wash em his outfit (Boots Pants Shirt & hat) of the past "Forever" OTL's should stand up on there own. He Will be at OTL as long as there is OTL his Sprit went Far beyond the Here and Now.
I won't say RUDY is going to Heaven but where ever he winds up Just You Gutta know that between Chuck, FOX, Spinny and RUDY (and the others) when we show they'll have everything set up and ready to play (RUDY will have the arm bands for the women)
and now it's time to pay respect to yet another fallen OMBAC Warrior - Fill yer glass an make a toast !!!!

OK, memory refreshed with the help of crew mates. I miss read your statement, I thought you were saying I was on the egregious boat, but you are right. I was on the boat that got blanketed by the 70 that Jimbo was driving. I don't think there was any protest action taken, just a lot of bad vibes..sorry my memory is seeped in rum, At any rate, it's a shitty move to pull in any race.

Totally agree. I started racing in Marina del Rey in 1970. It may be the fog of years but it seems to be that the corinthian spirit was more alive then. Lately it seems anything goes. I am sorry but to me that lacks class, regardless of the skill level of the perpetrator.OK, memory refreshed with the help of crew mates.

I think the most appropriate response to this issue was:
"Shun forevermore at the bar is the best method of punishment."
Glad to hear the issue has come up in other races. I was curious as I couldn't think of an actual rule on that. It seems you would be hard pressed to prove intention there.
It's great that our little fleet is having such a competitive run right up to the end of the season, which will be settled . . .

To set the record straight (on the original matter:), the blanketing at the BB was truly a coincidence as the red boat was flying with a little less talent than normal. We've all had those days. Also, it wasn't actually a 180. A crew member on our boat is still convinced she never rounded H, as the maneuver was more than curious. In retracing it, it still makes no sense how she ended up so far up wind, and so far past lay, on a downwind leg, but it happened, and the timing is crazy how we came together. I mean really, to plan that tack/jibe (which way was she going again?;)/> and end up blanketing at the mark perfectly would be more than impressive. As much as it hurt for a season decider, it was a lot of fun, which is what this fleet is all about.

Solve the problems made on the race course in the bar. Isn't this the first suggestion of most every repeat offender (no disrespect to Larry). In fact, if everyone raced as cleanly as Larry, Jane would not have even broached the subject.
But they don't all race cleanly in Santa Barbara do they. A small group has for years periodically done just the opposite. Whether it is calling for sea room and waiting a few extra boat lengths to tack, circling back to blanket or starboard tack a boat in another class or stripping PHRF boats before you race them, it is all the same BS and Santa Barbara has seen too much of it over the years.
The solution is simple. Don't take it to the bar, throw them out. If you do not, our children will be dealing with the same problem, because cheating breeds cheating.

I get it, no malice. Other skippers may not be pleased to learn that the largest and fastest boat in the fleet is careening around the course, out of control but having a ball. On our boat, before each race we evaluate our crew d'jour in terms of numbers and experience level. If I do not feel totally comfortable that we can race safely, we go for a day sail instead so I can do some teaching. This past year we have done a lot more day-sailing than racing but that is just the way it is.To set the record straight (on the original matter:), the blanketing at the BB was truly a coincidence as the red boat was flying with a little less talent than normal.

Great Looking Ride - cannot wait to see the R/P on January 5 for the Malibu and return. We are coming up from Newport. We'll see how much on or off pace we are - still working on our light air performance.
Is the R/P staying with Evolution sails or going with North? Quantum? Is Transpac on the calendar?

That's about all you'll get, a "Little" wind. My report is showing light wind (5kt) all day. On the Plus Side, it's supposed to be mostly sunny, and relatively warm!

We had a great time - rounded the weather mark with the Farr 400, Margaritaville, Elixir and Crockets Rocket - all about within a minute of each other. Fun racing except for the wind dying about 500 yards from the finish.
We finished before the sun went down....
