Posts: 364 | I thought 17's had centerboards? and that really sucks about losing one; I hit a Hobie Getaway with my P-19 a couple weekends ago and got to buy him a new cover for his port wing, and to do a lot of unplanned duct taping that night. The boat looks funny now with the unpainted patch on the port bow (yeah, I was at fault, ducking him on a port-tack start, and my stick slipped.) Any, keep on having fun till the $$ is gone...

When I dumped the main it bent back the wrong way and it has spreaders! Scary ! Jake Kohl was the 3rd man on the boat so he rigged(hes an engineer) a mast rotation limiter from my barber haulers, and we somewhat babied it around the course, staying off the wire. Then a trapeze line broke with Jake Kohl on it, he had to swim a bit. Then as we were about to round the "c" mark we noticed the jib block had lost a dammit ring and the pin. We had to temporarily tie it off until we tacked again. Then one ear of the shackle broke clean off leaving the pin precariously hanging on to the main blocks under load going upwind. Jake Kohl again tied it off and 2 seconds later the pin let go. almost like in the movies. Okay, I should have checked all of this before hand, but most of it was stressed beyond belief on Saturday in 20-30 and 5 ft seas, maybe bigger. I am glad we took on another crew who happened to be an engineer. THANKS JAKE !!!!!!! David Mosley www.seacats.org

My crew (who had never been on a sailboat before) was toast and I was pissed at my inability to maintain "pointy side up" long enough to finish.
While racing for the lead against that 21 and an H20 in the conditions on Saturday while playing "Flight of the Valkerie" in my mind was the high-lite, that was a great run in the puffy conditions on the G-force on Sunday! I've never seen a boat that was more comfy with three on board! (heck even with 6 it would be comfy!)
