2021 Eggemoggin Reach Regatta

[Cruisin Loser]

Who's in? 

They're selling dinner tickets. The BBQ 2 years ago was well beyond my expectations, and much better than in previous years. Hopefully this year will be a return to normal.

C'mon, bring yer woodies and have a little fun!

What is the date? 

 

[Cruisin Loser]

August 7th. I'll likely do the feeder races.

I've gotten a couple of calls and emails lately, some sort of beating around the bush, one quite delightfully blunt "[SIZE=11pt]wanted to mention that I am hopeful to be invited to sail in the ERR on RESTIVE".[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]I very much like his style. [/SIZE]

Does that mean your skipping the sail across the pond?

Marilee was stepped the other day, so they are likely gearing up for some fun.

 

[Cruisin Loser]

No TA race until 2023. The loss of IB has put my plans in flux. 

OK, nobody for ERR, How about Camden Classics? I got a call today from LM/Wayfarer in Camden. Apparently I'm signed up for the races and they're giving me free dock space at LM. 

I don't know when I'll actually get sailing, but the yard wants to launch to sort out the new rod. I told them I'll pay for beer.

I'll be your r/c for Camden

Boat I race on in Newport is coming up for Camden, which should be fun as I haven't done that race yet.  Sadly, don't think they're sticking around for ERR.

 

[Tucky]

I'm not available, as I said, for ERR, but might be able to do the Camden stuff, where my brother lives. That's the week before ERR, right?

I got an email from Chicane's owner today, he's doing the new classic regatta out of Boothbay, so we're thinking 'bout that. I'd kill to drive Chicane for a few hours. 

 

[Cruisin Loser]

OK, who's doing the Maine classic races this year? We're doing Boothbay, Camden Classics, And the Eggemoggin long weekend. Woodies!!!!!

 

[eliboat]

Hoping to do Err and feeders if I can sneak away.

 

[Slowboat]

Next year I’m hoping to bring my new boat over to race. Would be an adventure!

What's your new boat? Didn't you used to own a Swede 55?

I will make it interesting and see if you can guess.

 

[bmiller]

Now that's a trailersailer!

Low bridge pucker factor is high…

 

[Veeger]

Pleione!

 

[eliboat]

That’s not pleone

 

[Cruisin Loser]

It's certainly a WOW! I was thinking Spirit Yachts but it seems small for their shop, and the deckhouse and windows look wrong. Should go like a rocket. Whatever it is, I want the tiller for a few minutes.

Definitely not a meter boat, and Pleione is an 8 meter, I've been aboard.

I'm assuming it will shed lobster pots with sheer speed.

Very cool.
