Eliboat - Here is some limited info and a photo of the carjacked Mercedes SUV. http://www.mediaite....oston-suspects/

 

 

 

 

Trust me, I've been staying current... it's kind of hard not to around here.  BTW it was not a CRV, but a civic that they were looking for throughout the day until early in the afternoon, but they carjacked a fellow driving a black mercedes SUV last night after killing the MIT officer.

Kmag- yes Chevrons, that's what I meant by trim Vs, couldn't think of the proper name. Without those though, I still think white kites suck at night. I initially wrote that because it may be counter intuitive to someone inexperienced offshore at night. When I did my fist offshore race ~20 years ago I was surprised that the owners had black panels sewm into the shoulders off their offshore kite inventory. I would have never thought black would be easier to see, but I became believer that night and have observed same many time since.

I feel the same way - we just serviced our for Oregon Offshore.  

 

SMBReno - Maybe I'm missing something, but the MOM does at least have the "Inflatable Buoyancy Aid" with the lifting straps.  It would be nice if the Jim Buoy also had that.  


In Topic: J/88

GT-desertkarma - Try 29x3 and see what you get.






80 isn't a valid PHRF rating. They are all multiples of 3.


My non J, non sportboat rates 234 here in Nor Cal.
Not a multiple of 3.

I think most adjustments are done in 3 second multiples.


[Pedant maths hat]
[Cough]

3x78 = 234


Never mind.


Umm... I believe the J/105 rates 87 in the southeast... that's a prime number (and therefore not divisible by 3)...

Schoonerman - I think he is looking near San Francisco Yacht Club (in Belvedere), not the St. Francis. South San Francisco would be terrible, San Rafael not bad.
