Nelson Marek 30

Had a buddy of mine take a few shots of Babe while he was in the same yard last week putting the new True together. Really really sad to see people do this to boats.

It was lightly mentioned earlier but a great source of info would be Harry Pattison at Elliott/Pattison sailmakers in Newport Beach. He won 2 internationals on it along with a bunch of other stuff. He is super friendly and will share all the info you want on racing her.

These old MORC guys are getting long in the teeth. How long before the regional sail lofts and all that free experience is gone?

Easy there Cowboy, I may resemble that remark but trust me, I keep my teeth carefully trimmed. Anyway I have another year or two before I'm out of here.

Hi Harry , you sailed US30 for awhile did you not, I just purchased her, just looked like a really nice boat for our local racing, any quirks she likes that you can remember........thanks

 

[barefoot children]

Over the years I've acquired a few boat photos, mostly from marine sale listings;

Here's two, one called GRACE (first 2 images), and another unnamed:

 

[musicman]

The last 2 look very similar to my buddies boat. He owns a sistership to Cowboy that was "Rabble" and "Watch Out" at points in its life.

 

[Savage 17]

Which boat is this for sale in the classifieds?

[Harry Pattison]

[musicman]

So, "Old Man", When you say 'out of here' are you talking just Cat 3 racing or are you going to be out of the sailmaking biz?
