    Class Politics down 1000 members?

    You're right. Look for the good. Just frustrated with the same request for 4 years and looking for some sort of accountablility from a group that used accountability as their "Grim Rant". It's a shame the class had to go through this but I hope lessons were learned. Egos are the bane of...

    Growing a Fleet: For Merrily

    The Ollie wallock race starter is a great thing to have. Well worth the investment. Remote starters have been around for a long time. Out in Worcester Massachusetts on Lake Quinsiggamond (sp?) they had one wired up in the club back 40 years ago. I don't know why more yc. and race folks don't...

    "how high the mast"

    We used to have mast climbing competitions back in the day when there was no wind and we were waiting for the powers that be to figure out that there is no wind and/or when the wind will arrive. Anyone out there ever try this? How high did you climb before you hit the water? Any Go-rillas out...

    "really BIG show"

    I know there are smaller rigs for smaller people but shouldn't there be bigger rigs for bigger folks? Something like a 95 square foot sail for us big guys to be competetive in the light stuff with the minis that switch up and down depending upon the conditions. Why should the wee folk have all...

    sealing the mast

    I guess what I'm saying is regarding the lower section. I don't flip much and have always done well in 15 -25 kt conditions. The water gets into the mast deck sleeve and into the mast through the bottom. If it is illegal to seal the lower section the so be it. I'm just thinking of saving the...

    Is it possible/smart to seal and pressurize the mast so that no water gets in adding weight while you are sailing? Is this legal?

    Helium in the hull

    Simple lesson here. Push the envelope. Work harder than the rest and think outside the box. It's too easy to follow what others have written. Yes, learn from them but take it to the next level. There was a time back when rock steady was just out of diapers that the subject of "other gasses"...

    Painting a Laser sail

    I have a couple of older sails and I was wondering what kind of paint other sailors use to get their sails nice and white and back into racing shape. I've been told that there is a paint out there that can be applied by brush that will bring it back to life. Any ideas where I can find this...
