Fun thread. Maybe a little info about the boat and where your sailing.

This is Lively Lady, Mull 30 - a strip planked 30' speedster sailing under the Golden Gate. She was designed and built in 1967 as a special Mull prototype that changed boat design.

Sorry, but I'm going to carpet-bomb this thread:

The January Three-Bridge Fiasco race. When I pulled the spinnaker out of the bag I discovered that a mouse had turned parts of the sail into a nest. So, we switched over to the telescoping whisker pole and went wing-and-wing.

At the start of the 2008 Pacific Cup

During the Crewed Farallones Race. We were pushing a lot of water! Notice our secret weapon on the stern rail -- fire up that outboard and the propeller turns us into an airplane!

On the way home from Hawaii in heavy tradewinds. Photo taken by a friend in a big grey Orion P3.

Last night, after removing half a foot of snow - the mighty Cal 20 (and classic sea foam-coloured Sportyak)is ready to go!

If all goes according to plan, she'll be the smallest boat ever to winter over in the Northwest Passage.

Great idea. I will have to get to work.

1981 Sonoma 30 - by Carl Schumacher, the crew aboard on the way to winning one of the last Pearl Harbor return races held, back in '99 or so - you can't sail past the Arizona Memorial anymore because of the new bridge and security, but we kicked ass that weekend.

What a light touch on the tiller! I love boats that allow that. Sweet.

Those are gorgeous photos of a dream boat, Shaggy.
