    STC BI Race

    I'm getting worried about STC Block Island Race Week. If the races are cancelled each day that the wind exceeds 20 knots, there may not be any racing at all.

    Here is another to add to your collection. Neil Pryde designed the original sails for the boat and this is is second version. Red Stripe, which was sold and moved to American Yacht Club has used those numbers for the whole time he owned the boat. https://www.neilprydesails.com/images/pdf/Flying...

    Flying Tiger - Tohatsu 9.8 HO motor

    We had annual issues with our 9.8 motor. We determined that our issue was ethanol fuel in a wet engine compartment. To correct, we started rebuilding the carburetor at the end of each season right after we began limping on or off the racecourse. After the second year, we started to by...

    Where would you retire?

    We were thinking of moving out to CO a few years ago. I live on the east coast so and wanted to continue sailing. We researched Dillon and I was thinking of bringing a Flying Tiger 10M with me. In the end, plans changed, but it's still on my list for retirement locations.

    Dehler 42c / Dehler 46c

    I don’t think the J/109 fleet around here reports removing their transom seat. Is PHRF adjusting for overall weight when standard equipments is removed?
