Thank you for kind opinions and defending me. Just checking in on these things. JRF

And thank you Fred Schroth for defending my inquiry. One year some time ago as District 11 Secretary, I was yelled at by Vanguard in an angry email for organizing a bulk sail of Laser from KO Sailing in TX as they offered a better price than APS in MD. Apparently I was cutting into their...

I was just asking for opinions. Oh the past elections? Let's see I spent limited time asking for votes fo these reasons: It was a decision that I was late making, I traveled several hundred miles to a regatta, was working and dealing with a minor med. problem. I am not really worried about...

Can a district secretary independently promote any commericial interest they see fit for district membership list servs? Laser Performance is running a Laser giveaway and no doubt this will be used as a market gathering device and promotional tool. District 11 Secretary is currently...

who's pyro chick? My mind is "luffing?" thanks alot. is that you Fred?I say we can come up with a better saying about master sailors. let me get back to you.

There is the Black Hawk model. I found this indicator to respond well. A set-up to consider is the flipping the bar so the indicator is upside down and though reads the same. This is a helpful way to in part save it from ripping off and going in the drink , whence a sheet from another laser...

Make sure to rinse sail after applying acetone with a mild soap and water solution. Use a med. course terry cloth. Also, lay the sail out and place a board under the area in question. JRF

Masters have full sails and luffing minds? Speak for yourself. There some of us in rather great physical shape, pointing up wind nicely. As for luffing minds? Does that suggest we might be short on sail trim and long on emptiness of the mental capacity? Can you up with something more...

I could join, but until I know I might in a major 2010 regatta requiring membership. I will wait to re-join. I know they will send you back issues at separate costs than in bulk mailing. Thank you for your comments. How far in the great white north? Traveling regattas and having the means...

Hi FS. I would join again but asking to pro-rate membership fee...

Well, why pay now? I do not get full membership benefits and have to ASK for pro-rate? I wish we had the previous membership system where it's joining date is the renewal date. US Sailing operates that way.

The proper name is Seabrook Sailing Club. SEABROOK SAILING CLUB On Galveston Bay in Seabrook, TX, it's a terrific sailing venue; wind often builds shortly after noon into a steady and solid breeze up to 18. Houston YC, Texas Corinthian YC and SSC have a long running reputation of...

Rather than "selling" you a line of sailing gear/vendor by name. Here are a just a few; Gill, Ronstan, Magic Marine, Mysterioso, O'Neill, Body Glove, Harken, Helly-Hansen. I would avoid generic marine suppliers gear. I find the materials cheap and stitching is lousy. Most high tech sailing...

Add that two other homes were destroyed belonging to Seabrook Sailing Club members. Film footage at www.khou.com / look for video then look for "search other videos'" look for "Seabrook..." on Sept. 14. You will see the five empty lots and one house standing belonging to another club member...
