    Crew available for J24 Nationals in VT in early Sept

    I'm a member at MBBC, the site of J24 Nationals, and the boat I was supposed to crew on just dropped out.  I've been doing foredeck all summer on a C&C 99, and was really looking forward to September!  Let me know if you need a body!  Lots of small boat racing experience all the way up to a...

    Experienced racer looking for a ride for the 2018 season near Noank

    I'm an experienced racer - midwest, LIS, Lake Champlain.  My job recently changed, so now I'll be around CT most of the summer instead of in VT, and Im getting a new (to me) boat that I'll moor in Noank.  I'm looking to race regularly on OPB and just sail my own for fun.  I've raced Lasers to 50...

    ACC Lightnings... VT?

    Anyone need last minute crew for the Lightning ACCs in Colchester, VT?  I'm local, did the middle position for the last three years on a Lightning up here.  Previous captain just moved out of state, so I've slid over to J24s for this season.  I'm not a pro, but can fill in if you need someone -...

    Optis and Submarine

    Is the mark not anchored to the bottom? What is the sub doing in water shallow enough to lay out marks for an Opti race? Or did they lay out the marks in the middle of the shipping channel??

    America's Cup Race 19

    ETNZ steals defeat from the jaws of Victory! Wow - simply amazing. Great to watch, amazing comeback. I can't wait to find out what changes they made to improve performance the way they did - I expect that will leak out over the next several weeks. What's next? Ice boats? -AMM

    Much thanks from all - still working on purchase and potential move. Have seen uship - looks ok, but will keep the insurance issue in mind. -Alec

    Trailering from FL to VT? Trucking/towing company?

    Who can I pay to pull a Bene 235 from FL to VT? Has its own trailer, so doesn't need an 18 wheeler... Reasonably priced? -Alec

    Benny First 235 vs. Santana 23D - anyone sail both? Recommendations ei

    Has anyone spent a reasonable amount of time on both the Benny First 235 and the Santana 23D? I'm looking into buying a 20-25 foot boat for daysailing, short-term cruising, and some phrf racing and have narrowed the list to these two (I think). There's loads of info on the Beneteau, but not...

    Beer Can racing in Moscow?

    Thanks! I'll be there from June 16th to the 24th. Plenty of buoy racing and a couple thousand offshore miles, too. Not a rock star, but I won't get in the way, either... I'll bring the Baltika... -Alec

    Beer Can racing in Moscow?

    You might be funny, except that you're just stupid. I can see the damn sailboats on Google maps just a mile or two north of downtown 'motherland'...

    Beer Can racing in Moscow?

    Very helpful, thank you. Seriously - no one knows anything about sailing in the Russian capitol? Billions in oil money and nobody's dumping bucketloads into holes in the water in between giving the brits and yanks fits? Must be the only place on earth!

    First round is on me in Bermuda.

    I've agreed to attend a conference for work over the same dates as the Bermuda race this year... Best of luck to all racing. I'll be following on Sailing Anarchy! -Alec
