    Bruce Rand has been the measurer in the Lake Ontario region since I joined the fleet a few years back, and has done a great job keeping us in line and ensuring a fair playing field for the NAs each year. He’s […]

    Only 4 boats registered for the NA’s now… We could see around 10 boats on the start line. Many boats surrounding Totonto are are missing… Any one else registering??

    I just jammed it in forward of the keel bolt under the mast step and it fits perfectly. I had top move the hose from the manual pump to the side, but that still works too if the water is deep enough… I ran the […]

    Jason, did you somehow attach the bilge pump to the bilge, or did you just place it in the bilge without screws?

    I have one of these: http://store.waterpumpsupply.com/ruau12vodcbi.html stuffed in the bilge in front of the big keel bolt with a hose that runs out of the companionway when we are not on the boat. It is hooked […]

    Wilby at Pride Marine has a mast tube, but I don’t think spreaders or rigging.

    Golden Brown’s mast broke at the spreaders, so could work for a deck-mounted gin pole.

    I have a crew member who I bet would be interested. I would also be interested in the remnants of the mast if there is enough left to make a gin pole for stepping/unstepping.

    Dont scrap her. Come up with a price and try to sell her as is. I believe a new rig runs somewhere around 8k. I am sure someone on this site knows someone who’d be interested in her. Post to the classifieds.

    I could really use about a 3-4 foot section of the mast…6 would be freaking awesome…

    Appreciate what the rules say but if all participants agree, it would seem a modification should be doable. Clearly once one boat objects, we use Class rules.

    As you know, I don’t have a dog in this fight, but there is a good possibility I will still be involved.

    I’ve registered though my participation will depend on the eventual number of boats entered.

    Two things…

    Absent any other consideration (and I have no experience with either course), I’d opt for the […]

    Registration is live. You guys need to figure out which (if any) LD course you do.

    Don’t forget lots of pictures. Scan a bunch into a single page of pictures. I think you can only post 4 single pics here. Trailer?

    WOW! Don’t chop it up! Have you priced a mast? Damage to the boat?
