Heh, heh, when I used to take flack for my gay pride sails I'd just say they were re-cut from a 70s vintage Hobie Cat main. Do people still have them or is that an oldie?

Apropos of nothing:  Did you used to race an 11:Metre One Design PHRF in Monterey?  If so, you've got good taste and I miss seeing that boat.

Apropos of the reward for a life filled with fun: old age.

Yup the 11:m. That was a super fun gig. You and I raced, once, victoriously, on a Shields here a few years ago. Remember? Rather the opposite of 11:m design wise. Now (supposedly) cruise the SC50 that is (sadly parked) there.

Looks like the MPYC programs are getting back on their feet after the COVID disaster.

If you fall and people laugh...........youre young. If you fall and everyone gasps in horror and someone runs over to see if you're okay....you're old.

Or dead.  Or both.   :lol:

Too many people. I'm so cal. You could ski, surf, and desert ride in the same day and so could 20M other people. And they did.

On my 50th birthday I did the “S” trifecta with a bunch of my buddies. Sail, Surf, and Ski in the same day. Epic

Here it's sail, ski & golf.

I'd take surfing in a heartbeat compared to hitting a little ball with a stick.

Snow Valley or Mt. Baldy?

I've done the bifecta numerous times. Skied Snow Valley in the AM, sailed the boat that afternoon.  I gotta believe we deserve some credit since the boat was in Channel Islands, a 3 hour drive minimum. Of course, Snow Valley was just 5 miles up the road for us.

Total credit! That’s a long haul! 

We did dawn patrol at Sano, sail out of Dana Point, night ski at Mountain High. Long day……..then there was the bar afterwards…….jeepers…..

It could be worse - she could ask you what size you are.

Just tell them it's for your trophy wife.

Missed your reply.

Pretty sure we raced with Donna on B.  I too am getting old!

It was your SC 50 that helped me connect the dots here.  I had been out of the game for about 8 years until late 2021, saw and did not know that absolutely pristine  SC 50, heard it was yours, and heard that you'd done 'some distance cruising'.  Like I said, you've got good taste!

Yes, MPYC is racing again.  Not many PHRF boats but eleven (soon to be thirteen, I hear) Shields.  There is no old on Shields.  Shields beckon...
