I like how you change your location!! Cesspool YC..lol. As far as the topic... I'm not sure but, being helpful, as a group, is always a good start. I think you gave him a good start!! Now lets give Fred a brownie..LOL. Seriously... that was nice of you. DaveK

Oh... the spelling police caught me. I thought they were on some other forum? How'd they get here? Reminds me of song.... this is not my beautiful house. Anyways.... I'll try to behave in all matters. Most folks are great to talk with out on the water. But more needs to happen off. I've been...

I believe with any type of group involved sport, its communication that keeps it going. Get together, have pizza and talk about next season. I would like to see more of that kind of socialism off the water. DaveK

Whos making the popcorn?? First of all, I believe that looking at a molecular level of anything, will loose in the bigger picture when considering boat speed. The density of gelcoat may in fact be less than auto uros. That means a larger chain, bigger molecules and a lighter product. Lets coat...

Ok Compuman..... I'll be nice and not act like I'm on Sailing Anarchy. I'm a custom Harley painter. I know very little about the gelcoat process and would love to watch Fred do it sometime. But, I know lots about uros. I paint in whats called a 2 stage process. Base coat (color non activated)...

That's good!! Better is NOT Faster.... Ok by me!! Purity of this class can only be taken so far. If you want to reinforce your vang attchment at the boom so, it doesn't break in a bad jybe then, go for it. DaveK

I want e) Unobtainum-enhanced polymer modified with finely ground mermaid scales....... that's funny!! The only point here that I don't agree on is.... why can't I put pretty custom paint job on a brand new boat?? It would be heavier and slower than new but, prettier. I see that the main point...

Hey Odin..... I went to UH @ Clear Lake back in mid '80s. 3 of us rented a house in Bacliff for the 3 years we were there. On ocassion, we would pool some money together and rent a Person 36 from the Hilton on Clear lake. It was more of a booze cruise party back then. I just go into dinghys...

Can I race a US1 against lasers? Seriously.... If Mikey doesn't find a respectable charterer, then I'll take him up on that extra boat. And take my ass wooping like a man. Should be fun, although maybe the weekend after Easter, could be 1 degree warmer. Is this like a salt water thing with...

I tried to get online but, all of the games were full. I'll try again over the holiday even though I'm sure I'll suck at it. DaveK

Mine would be DaveK if I played online. I haven't yet. I don't play as often as I would like (the wife gets a little pissed). But, I'll admit that I haven't played in any other mode than auto (as far as trimming is concerned). If you play online, do you need to be in a total manual mode? I would...

I think I need to try the trial version before I buy it. I've got 3 and heard 4 wasn't much better. Please lets hear what folks think about 3 vs. 4? DaveK

Your right Odin... I saw an interview on T2P.tv of Gary Jobson. He mentioned that gap that exist between the age of 20 to 40 and how it effects the business side of sailing. People who learn early in life will continue until they finish college, get a job, get married and have kids. Not even...

C'mon Mickey.. Fred did great. We need to pump you up (or him). Lets go play Sat. on Canyon. I'm ready. DaveK

Hey... everyone needs to give congrats to Gobernail for winning the Wursfest Regatta!!!! Really folks... it was a tough crowd with gust over 30. Fred is not a young pup with the perfect body either. It was inspiring to me. Guess he smelled something after that. Toooo bad so sad. Thanks again...
