I keep hearing about this "new to you" tri but I haven't seen any pictures. Whazz up?

I can't multitask... sailing and photography is too much!

I got a short vid of some dolphins attacking the boat, but that's about it...

and it came with a cute blond

Just looking at that picture, and what's going on is hilarious.

You've heard about the Divorced Barbie?

She comes with all of Ken's stuff...

I can hear the music. That mast needs to be painted gold.

And who hasn't trapped out on the low side?

Who hasn't double trapped of the low side?

She's got her skirt "hiked" up!

"Blond" = Ken

"Blonde" = Barbie

Really? No one else noticed???

Mike

haha, even i didn't notice
hell i didn't even see ken in the pic until someone mentioned it

There's NO comp tip on that Hobie! Call the lawyers, NOW!

I guess its a fourteen. Does Mattel make a turbo kit?

Come on up to the Conquistador Cup!

If you need crew, the skip sold the Stiletto, so I'm a cheap date. Overnight in the water storage is available.

Last year an F24 went endo. A new crew and a jammed spin sheet. Too much fun.

They can do that? oops. Where are the pics?

Here ya go.

I am friends with both crew, both experienced inshore sailors, but don't know the owner. I witnessed it from the bow of the Stiletto about 100 yards away..

hmmmmm...so if the crew didn't move their weight forward to try and release the spinnaker, that big 'ol heavy boat wouldn't have pitchpolled? I had to giggle at that... Yep. Crew's fault.

Jay, don't ever let your kids go forward...that boat might pitchpoll.

If Jay doesn't have a boat, he could buy mine! (SHAMELESS PLUG - I bought an ad!)

Galvanized Trailer w/Lunchbox ?? come with a sandwich press too?

duly noted! that pic shows the boat on a really weird position. were they trying to right it at the time? or is the mast stck on the bottom

I don't even know how I'd release the spin "up forward". the halyard clutch is on the mast, the tack line clutch is on the cabintop near the ****, and the sheet runs to the aft winch. maybe the dude was stuffing the spin on the front beam?

and how much wind were they experiencing at that mark?

I'd been trying to figure out a way to run a dousing line / snuffer type takedown system to avoid that manual spin stuffing ritual... if for no other reason than to collapse the spin quickly to depower it in just those situations (panic takedown in breeze)

all this while cruising past Cape Romano (the houses are almost under water now) Monday. yeah, life's a drag

I saw 2 stilettos (maybe 27 ?) right off Caxambas pass with Mariott logos on the sails. Does that hotel rent those? sweet!

You'll have to come out and see us on March 1st. We should (hopefully) be cruising past Marco island in the afternoon. Note; we might duck behind Ten Thousand Island and cut the corner if the wind is right.
