Cameron Sails reports the material
Cameron Sails reports the material for the new sails are in, so I should have them soon.
Last night the winds were easterly at 10kts. Boats that came out were: 2 Day Sailers, 1 Thistle, 1 Coronado 15, 1 Flying Junior, 1 Vanguard 15, and 1 Nomad. Total were seven. We sailed pretty well, and got 1st. The FJ was second and Jim Wells' Day Sailer was third - He's re-rigged his jib sheets and I think with that ergonomic improvement as well as the prebend in the mast he's faster, which is great news! Dick Hoover hurt his knee so he wasn't able to sail, unfortunately. The Thistle was joking (I think) afterwards that the Day Sailer is underrated in Portsmouth. I've wondered if that is the case. Must send the results into US sailing.
Took the GPS:
Series two trophies are Blue Water Ship's Stores gift certificates - I think I'll order new rudder gudgeons - I need to confirm the width of the my rudder head and see if the RWO R0792 model will work. Blue Water will need to order them.
