I can only echo the comments above.  Sad.....

This race proves once again the J125 is one of the best Transpac boats of all time.  Yes I am very biased.  

On another OEX note, thank God everyone made it safely out of the boat.  Well done by the the crew of Pyewacket to provide assistance, and simply do the right thing.  Having (12) Transpac's under my belt, I can certainly attest to an increase in debris well south of the rumb.   In 2017 on...

Having owned the 125 "Resolute" (hull #8) for nine years, I have to say it was a 100% labor of love.  It was all about making many little changes over that time, and simplifying things.  I went thru every inch of that boat, and really felt it was an extension of my right arm.  After the recent...

Sorry Viggo.  Glad all you guys are OK though.  Good luck on the slog home.  I know the pain of that Yanmar 3 banger on a long delivery.

I don't have the boat listed at this time.  The boat is flawless, and set up for turn-key inshore and offshore racing with a great record for both .  In the 40' range for both types of racing there is not a better boat on the planet.  For serious inquiries please message me directly.  Tim

Hey Chris, congrats again to the Varuna team on a great race, and so cool you could do that with your daughter.  See you soon out on some race course someplace.  I bought a Finn just before TP.  You may want to jump into that "old guy" fun (pain) class.  Tim 

Shaggy, I think there may have been some attempt to put (2) pipe berths in the bow for cruising, but certainly not for racing.  Honestly I've never cruised my 125 either.  I have (4) sets of carbon brackets bonded to the hull aft so we can symmetrically stack (2) sleepers on the high side aft...

Someday maybe for my 125 baby "Resolute."  In the mean time bring on Transpac 2017! 

Chris, I figured I'd bring a couple of trimmers this time vs. '15. It gets boring out there with nobody to talk to, and you can't trim the kite! I'm just going to sit in the back of the bus and go for a ride. Good luck in the Islands Race. Tim

"Resolute" (J125) entered, crew selected and ready to go. A J125 class would be very cool if you TPYC organizers are reading.

Same boat and their fast.....

I feel compelled to jump in here. As an "old school" BBS grinder/trimmer in the 90's for the most part on SC 70 - Silver Bullet, and some IOR beasts mixed in, I have paid my dues on the BAY. After skippering my J122 and J125 five times we finally pulled out the ORR-B win this year. With all...

James3232, I first owned a 122 (original version) and sold it in '09. I bought the 125 shortly thereafter. When I bought the 122 I had no idea the 125 model existed, and the first time I ever saw a 125 I thought it looked like crap. That particular boat was in pretty bad shape, but still...

I've been fortunate to own both a 122 and a 125 (both "Resolute"). Aside the design spec's noted above, the comparison in my mind is like a stock Ford Mustang GT (122) and a fully restored 50's vintage Porsche Spyder (125). If the two of them are side by side at the dock your first glance is...

Vikram, Tim Fuller here. I was the guy (with Erik Shampain) that did the '07 Transpac DH on a J100. Since then we have done that race in a modified 1D35 ('09) and J125 ('15). The only mod to the J100 for TP was a 10% oversized pole and oversized kites. Other than a tiller pilot and water...

As a participant in the race with my J125 "Resolute" I have to say the organizers made the right call. We were ready either way, but the shortened 70 mile course was packed with plenty of fun. Sadly all of us So Cal "ocean racers" cannot forget the tragic circumstances in the '13 Islands Race...

Greg, are you planning on doing BBS?

I thought I might breath some life back in this thread.... The re-fit of Stark Raving Mad (Now TRY??) looks good. What I'd like to suggest to my fellow 125 owners is to get a class together for Big Boat this year, and mix it up. It will be good to see if the pedestal on TRY makes a...

Thanks
