Chicago to Mackinac rules at the time were essentially category 2 requirements and provided that you either carried a "storm trisail" with specified area or your mainsail had to be capable of being reduced through reefing by 60% or more of its originaly area. Many Many small boats of the time (and a number of bigger boats) chose three reefs to get there. Two reefs would not do it unless there was a huge gap in area from one to three.

Yes, three reefs was standard, & none of this using a different main for inshore stuff.

I did a couple of Hobarts on boats with a fourth reef in the main on the theory that you were more likely to drop in a fourth reef than bother getting the tri-sail up early enough!

Great thread for us old blokes and a history lesson for the kids. Don't ever let it die!

I've got a lot of history on that boat. I raced on it with the third owner. Affectionately called the "Cedar Speeder". A lot of fun. Pretty boat - ugly crew! It was used as a liveaboard in the Gulf Islands for awhile when one of the owners built a house in the Gulf Islands. It was reno'd by the son/family of the original owner in '80. I see it's got a carbon rig now and the third owner & their crew painted the mast "guard rail yellow" in keeping with the original theme and colour.

Sorry for the hi-jack Larry put while we are talking about cold mold and Jesperson builds:

Magistri. Sail No. 84007. Peter Farlinger, RCYC, Toronto. C&C 39. 1983 SORC, Miami to Nassau Race. Class E, rated IOR 30.6.

Per Mike Hunt, Magistri was a C&C custom 39 owned by Peter Farlinger.
It raced in the 83 Admirals Cup and did quite well. It was sold to a Swedish buyer sometime after the regatta.
I'm pretty sure this Magistri was on the 83 AC team with the 41 Silver Shadow and the C&C 45 Amazing Grace.

Jeff Carver said... this Magistri, a custom 39-footer, was designed and built for Peter Farlinger, a former member of the syndicate that had purchased and renamed Marauder.
Our Magistri never earned the reputation in Canada that she deserved -- mainly because Farlinger sailed her exclusively offshore and only for a short period before
selling her to Swedish interests. But she campaigned with distinction, winning the Channel Race as part of the Canadian team at the 1983 Admiral's Cup.
An excellent, if smallish, ocean racer that reaffirmed there was no more to C&C's design touch than a wildcard like Evergreen.

Trim is only part of the problem, halyard needs eased too
Oh wait, that's one of those times where "basic sail trim" includes working the halyard


FB- Doug

[Touch of Gray]

Really, only the guys on that boat and maybe God know what occurred just before this shot was taken. Given the rolly polly situation that was occurring and the full on halyard I guess that they were recovering from a collapsed blooper that had (and of course would) have put the bloop in the drink maybe 30 seconds earlier. And in many ways, the demise of the blooper was because it wasn't faster, and in fact as has be noted previously, was often slower what with all the dicking around needed.

And OMG look at that hole in the water!

Hi Larry,

Do you think you could find some nice shoots of Williwaw, the 45 ft alu boat that was disqualified or at least had rating problems in 198x SORC.

Another boat I admire is the Aires, some 43-45 ft Ron Holland, she has been shown in the first part of this awesome thread, motoring to start with only main up.

I you could dig in the archive about these boats it wold be great

[Steam Flyer]

It's a great pic, and while some remarks are perhaps a bit underhanded, I give these guys a lot of credit. Sailing a Peterson 42 in those conditions with 5 guys on deck... nowadays you wouldn't see a spinnaker (much less a blooper) on a boat like that without more like 15 crew.

And I think TOG is exactly right, they probably yanked the blooper halyard tight about 20 seconds before this pic was taken to lift it out of the previous wave... fun fun fun...

Pardon the top post

All that power and so little speed. It was fun racing to be sure, but pretty much decided with getting to the weather mark in the order of who bought the latest genoa and to the leeward mark in the order of who didn't spin out.

I'm still stuck in those days with my last two boats. Besides, when have we ever had so many boats racing as back then? Nowadays we are lucky to get 8 or 9 in our class and they are all very different, from a super light 26' to a old Peterson 2 ton. Then we had 20 boats pretty close to each other, great racing, even though it might have been a bit slower and took a lot more work to go slower.

Great stuff, curious do you have any MORC pics?

MORC killed more great small boat designs than IOR did.

Measurement rules suck. God bless the box rule.

Maybe so, but it produced some great designs too. Lots of true dual purpose and well behaved boats came out of MORC.

one of my old favorites

is that the old Fisher and Paykel?

Not F&P. That’s New Zealand Endeavour after the 93-94 Race. Sold in Miami by Grant to a group of three guys -- 1 in Tasmania and 2 in MDR. Raced in the 1995 Hobart and Mooloolaba and then shipped to MDR where I did some time on her.

Looks like I came late to the party...

I saw woofwoof''s post in the old thread and saw this:

Rip Van Winkle - Irwin 3/4 Ton SORC 81 - Owned by Joe Nuzzo


That's Wells Cogeshell up front..

Reefed headsails.. Good drugs in the 70's man.. Miami-Nassau 1981

Here's a couple w/ the old paint job:




1978 St. Pete to Havana Race.. Howard Miller sportin the Fro..

^^ Raced against Joe when he had the Olson 30 'Hot Tuna' in the 90's out of Treasure Island.

Here's some more I dug up:

il Moro de Venizia - Frers 72 Pocket Maxi - SORC 86 St. Pete to Ft Laud Race start


Matador, Marlboro (ex- UBS Switzerland), & Milene V SORC 86 St. Pete to Ft Laud Race start


Alethea (J/41), Diva (J/V 1 Ton) & ??? looks like 1 Ton US-XXX25 SORC 86 St. Pete to Ft Laud Race start

I was on there.. Great boat. We had a little min-fleet of them for a while with Tony Johnson's Dorado and an Olson 29 called Bullet.

Good stuff.

That's gotta be Celebration to leeward in the last photo. Does that dinghy rate one ton too?

Saw Bullet break their rig inside Treasure Island at one Michelob Cup, when the race was delayed from Saturday to Sunday, 1991? IIRC. They wanted to 'practice' inside and after setting the spin the rig popped.

I almost do think that it is Diva Joubert Nivelt Admiraler on this shot....(Look at sail nmber and hull's deco)
Bye the way, Diva JV was not a 2 tons ?

Yes, the second boat is definitely Diva. The third boat all the way to leeward is Celebration. You can tell by the Horizon sail number (ending in 25) on the fractional rig. I don't think the JV Diva was a full 2 tonner. All three boats here may be bigger than IOR 30.5 though, you could be right about that.

I'm wondering if anybody here can identify this distinctive yacht, Sail No. 23866.
I believe this was on a Chi-Mac race, perhaps 1982 or so, but am not positive.
I only have scratch sheet from 1983, which does not include her. And my 1983 Mac photos were taken from a helicopter.
It looks like she had yellow lettering, but I can't make it out, and can't remember.

Looks like a late 70's Peterson 34, there was a production run of a few in So Cal and they were fast

Does anyone have pictures of Mace. The g&s 25, trying to see the paint scheme.
