and according to guestimates Canada it looks like more sun than cloud. looking forward to another time around and the lamb bbq

I think what the brain-trust on the boat I sail on uses something called "air display". From how Ive seen it used its pretty much just a remote desktop, run through the boats intranet. And from my slightly distant view of it, it leaves a bit to be desired in terms of control, but its good for starts and mark exits where no control of the screen is required.

Ill make an inquiry and see what the program is actually called, or even get one of the brain-trust to post here. though someone may have a much better way to do it

With Made in Santa Cruz Race Week around the corner, and history emerging from the shadows, there have been requests for a complete list of SC-70's. With Bill Lee's assistance, this is what we have on file. It is by no means accurate, and we'd appreciate any updates, corrections, and history.

Very cool list, and its very interesting to know where all the boats are. I know Westerly has looked at doing the race week but we have a set of races that happen to be be at conflicting times

Vancouver's new Coast Guard rescue craft on it's way back to base (some 35+ mins away from the major thorough fare when the seas are calm). This is what a distressed boat has to look forward to now that the local station has been shuttered!
How does this thing help small craft without riding over them? It's got to be about 50ft long!

And the funny thing as this post points out the newest and greatest is usually not the best for the job at hand. I mean what type of craft is that thing. Looks like a landing craft to go up on a beach.

your right... its a 50ish foot twin propeller hovercraft.. you can hear it from 2 miles away and it goes nice and fast on calm days. I have only ever seen it operate on those days though, they have to launch the RHIBs if there is much sea state.
