Back In The Saddle - In 30 Knots!

[Femme De La Stagg]

Going to have to send out congrat's to Jim and the Gold Digger crew for stepping up the game today in IRC2 in the J44!!
Regards

Nothing for your buddy on Enema & Sore?..

HONESTLY... is that the best slam you could come up with...

Heart & Soul -- much love to you!!

Slam? Hardly. The bowman on the boat is a friend and crewmate of OMOTB and I. They are positioned well in a tough class and sailing well. Even sailing poorly beats the frigid tundra around here. As for the moniker, every boat's name gets some changes on the water...

I can do better, is this a challenge?

No challenge needed... save your dignity for something that matters!!

GO CHUCK... I'll make more cookies if you pull off a podium placement!!

Lots of Love -- Femme

Ish, you think you'll really be able to get out there tomorrow?

 

[Reefed]

Is that really safe???

 

[War Dog]

Interviews with El Ocaso main trimmer and Tim Kernan loading now. And that third vodka really didn't make things easier, especially with no food in me.

still not seeing these did the vodka win??

Yeah the sheet metal screws will be fine...maybe some duct tape? Scratch that, Gorilla tape will be better its black so it will blend right in with the rest of the spar...good as new

Well... either way... I hope they get back out there and are able to race. Sucks to come all that way and have to watch. It just looks a bit sketchy to me.

 

[Reefed]

Clean... i saw you might be covering Div 3 tomorrow. If you do, think you might be able to find out what happened to Blind Faith today in the "dumptruck" class? Just wondering why they had to be towed in.

Yeah it take a lot of time and money to coordinate a trip to kwrw...best of luck to the skipper and crew of XS hopefully they will be able to get back to sailing soon.

Kernan is petey's hi-res stuff, takes a long time to process, compress, and upload - look for it in the Day 3 thread in the morning, along with one with Bob Hiller's, main trim on El Ocaso.

While we're on the topic of Division 3....

Could you please stalk TANGENT... afterall... they are the ONLY boat in this entire regatta that has 4 consecutive 1sts.... and that's first to finish and corrected. One of today's finishes was determined by 2 seconds. Cheers to the other Annapolis, MD boat.

The Cape Fear will continue to dominate as long as the wind continues to blow.... when it dies.... oh oh -- hard times for Tangent!!

So, please, get them while they're hot -- tomorrow should blow.

However, WARNING, photograph Cliff is like photographing the Ahmish -- he's just freaky weird about that sort of thing!! It's not everyday that I get to see my husband race -- so -- any footage would be appreciated. Flown to lots of finishes and barfed on lots of races (love to hitchhiker).... but would LOVE to see some on the water footage!!

Lot of Love to Clean & Mer for a job well done!!

If I were racing against it, I know I would be sure not allow my boat to be to leeward of them at the start of first race tomorrow as they harden up...

WTF was the noise?

May want to get the crew some of those idiot hardhats..

If she sets-up alright it may end-up being the stiffest part of the mast. Gotta keep her warm a little to get the epoxy to set good? Going to be in the 20-30's here in central Fla. tonight.

(I know, nowhere near what some of you are seeing, but still pretty cold for us)

Still kind of an edgy repair though...................

There are some very talented people in the crew working on it with other contributors including Ben Hall of Hall Spars who built the rig. We will not go out if it is unsafe as we were very lucky no one was hurt today and we don't want to push our luck. Those photos were just from the mocking up stage, there are about a dozen carbon fiber battens that will be held in place with shit ton of machine screws and some extremely strong epoxy given to us by Hall Spars. Then the outside of the joint will be wrapped in carbon fiber and epoxied.

Will do Femme. But I'll do a better job of it if you show us something mammary.

Best of luck to you all, hopefully your work will pay off. From my vantage point behind a computer in the frozen north, I just wonder what kind of compression load that can take (having seen a compression failure in the past).
