    Why did J Boats drop the J100?

    I can get about $1500 as scrap metal. I'd like it to be used rather than junked. How about $2500 or offer. Its located in the SF Bay area BTW.

    Bottom paint j/70 effect on resale?

    Richmond YC can easily launch J70s. There are two in trailer storage now. BTW the one with bottom is on a winning roll, Trans Tahoe and maybe three beers cans in a row. We'll see after next two one designs races at St Francis.

    The Bay Area has had a bad couple of years with too early loss of great sailor citizens. When I started racing in the mid 80s I envied the guy a little younger than me on the really cool boat that blew past me. He seemed to have some magic on a boat. I thought of him as a fierce competitor...

    Starting another Dart..

    Congrats Jim and Mark! Its a wonder how things turn out. I remember introducing Jim, who was living with his wife on his cramped Columbia 26(?) at the time, to the B25 almost 20 years ago to the day when I brought my new B25 Zilla to Sierra Point Marina. Like me, he really loved that boat...

    Sailing in Abu Dhabi

    I thought about shipping it. Surprized me but the mast splits to two sections but the width is 10'3" or so. Too big for a flat rack I fear. I'm gonna recheck but I think its about $50K to ship from SFO.

    Sailing in Abu Dhabi

    I'm taking and expat gig in Abu Dhabi for a few years. We just finished storing our SC37 in the 'garage', that's it shown below on the trailer posing next to the Hwy 88 Carson Pass lookout. I would appreciate any Anarchist tips on the local sailing scene. I fear most of the sailing is in Dubai...
