And what is the verdict for this weekends racing given the changes that occurred this week?........

Done!

Awesome - I already have the required shorts for this year.... now how well do the pink shorts go with the black shirts, may have to trade in the "sail angry" shirts for something in Madras.

"Sail Fabulous!"

Not that there is anything wrong with that....

Thanks - well that was simple, maybe they can put that button in the standard reply box... Smoke winning IMS overall at SORC and second OA at KWRW vs many of the top ILC 40s of 1994 and 95 including, Omen, MB Aerospace, etc. I will have to scan some others of the launch and KWRW in the next day or so.

I'm a little late to this show...but I sail on an IMX 38. The former SMOKE (now painted white). Its two owners past, and now owned by the Orange County Council, Boy Scouts of America. She's primarily sailed by the Newport Sea Base Youth Racing Team, a group of 14-20 year young adults (male and female). We focus on offshore and keel boat racing.

She's sail well to weather but we haven't quite dialed her in downwind yet and will stop using symmetrical kits and go primarily to aysos for a trial period. She seems to do best in 10-18 knots. Not the best light air boat....then again our #1 light jib was probably made by the owners of Smoke! Unfortunately, our best sail is a relatively new #2.


For our purposes, she's a great boat. Reliable, doesn't need a ton of work, and she has bunks for comfortable overnight racing. The only flaw is a silly position for the chart table.

It is cool to see that boat still kicking around, hope you guys have a lot of fun with it... We won a lot in 1995 with Smoke.

I would post some photos of it winning SORC overall under IRC in 1995, but I can't sort out the board in short notice to post the images. I will send some via IM if you want them.
