Great top rounding!

Full Throttle ahead,
MFATIC just behind


Hike, Bitches first day on the job - SUCKED at the top mark and we can't give you the full roundings - no worries though - watch the video in a few minutes and you'll see them all.

His penance is to pour Vodkas for me all day. BTW, I'm on my second big glass.

hell I could have come out and sucked at calling roundings and poured drinks all day. I'll bring a bottle of the good tequila next time.

Nice footage of IRC boats during the break.

[MR.CLEAN]

Here's the start:

[Exit_Strategy216]

Clean,

Whats going on? How are they doing with the Tanker in the course. IRC boats crossing the fleet comical WTF.

[MR.CLEAN]

ROck N Roll was third, Barbars in fourth. Boats are splitting the tanker and a bunch of yahoos on Catalinas, etc. - Charlie flag is up with a shorten course, very small gate, looks like RC is trying to take the tanker out of the equation.

[MR.CLEAN]

Superb top mark action!

We'll let you know who won the shirts as soon as we can. Actually, fuckit - you guys tell us who won.

[SailDry]

Convexity was 23rd. mgosailing takes it with Post #23 too.

[MR.CLEAN]

Next contest: This time, winner gets a set of Eastport 32 beer coozies, and the other one gets a microfiber shirt from Coral Reef Sailing Apparel.

We love the number 69 - so guess the 6th place boat and the 9th place boat. In the contest thread - not here.

if what you say is true about the new boats being faster,
what does that predict for the future of the class? -
seems to me you'd want all boats to have the same speed potential -
and have the racing decide who the best sailors are...

[MR.CLEAN]

We had a little issue with Mer's computer - but we've got some pics for you shortly. RC is rolling into a start shortly.

And right on cue - here they are.

Plenty of 700 hulls between 14th and 22nd.............same number as there are between 1st through 13th........the good sailors find people that can afford a new boat so it's hard to tell how Hutch and Larson would do in hulls 306 and 307

[MR.CLEAN]

Better breeze now! maybe up to ten knots. Course 4, 185 degrees. Tugs going through the course now - just a regular busy day on the Chesapeake.

Yeah, true for sure - the truth is that you have to be a hell of a long way up there before you start to tell the difference - but it's there.

well, that's a good point...
I guess I'm just comparing it to classes where 40- and 50-year old boats are still competitive...

Probably a good discussion for another thread, huh? Little boat, high performance, goes out in all conditions = gets soft pretty quickly no matter how well built

[hdglightning]

And what class would have a 40-50 year old boat competitive against a new one? I don't know of any class with that potential!

The M24 does benefit from being new, but how much is a good guess. 1-2 BL per leg? Perhaps. For the top guys this is a big issue, but for the middle and back, it does not matter. In general the top guys in the class buy boats more ofen than not, hence having newer stuff. Does it make them faster? No...but it sure does not hurt!

[MR.CLEAN]

Joe Fly wins the boat, Gannet just behind, Cary Siegler on Cre843 let JF in at the last second - JF had their jib unrolled until 0:03. Entourage first to tack over, Chris Larson follows suit but ahead of Amendola.




Left shift came in a minute ago - guys on the left look pretty good a quarter way up the beat.

2 that I've sailed this year - Ensign and Jet-14 -
let's do another thread on it though, that's a good idea...

[MR.CLEAN]

Mer said "sorry - here are the pics I thought I lost from the last race"

More pressure on the left side right now - we'll see how it goes. Guys on the left are fully hiked, on the right, not so much.

We are already at the dock, with a great finish video uploading and then an on-the-water interview with Terry Hutchinson as we headed in. Sit tight. I think I might switch to Pusser's shortly, which will be a bad idea, but entertaining.



I don't have the slightest clue who won what - I'll have to look later when I'm drunker. Who else should I interview?

Here's Hutch - and probably the best interview I've ever done. Then again, my judgment is a bit skewed right now.

Actually very nice Video innerview Clean!

I wonder if they had the Pina Colada song disease while they were sailing, since that was the word of the day on THutch's boat. Sadly now I have it, but fortunately Coconut Grove is starting to rumble with Halloween Festivities. Cocktails and costumes!

Happy Halloween all.

[BeBop]

Clean, the coverage has been a treat. Terry and crew may be rock stars, but many here on the Bay have known him since he was a kid. Even after he was sailing in the Cup, he'd see my old man and call him 'Mister'. I know Cappy's up there smiling down on him right now!
