GBCA Discussion Forum

Will anyone post the TRW pool party photos?  it would make a nice addition to such a fine three days. 

Just got GBCA postcard for the RUM RACES in the mail..  COOL!

Just checked the attendees list for the seminar this Saturday.  37 students.  31 crew and 5 skippers.  Sounds like they heard about the free beer!

Portofino has many slips available in the inner harbor.  All the slips have been completely reconditioned with new walers and 12 in. cleats.  The clubhouse will be opened by Memorial Day and the dredging will be completed by Fall.  The Summer depths should be 6-7 ft.  40-50 ft. slips are being leased at 8.75 per ft.  These slips became available due to the recent rate increase and are well worth the price.  If anyone is interested, you can call Connie in the leasing office at 281 334-6007.  We've been there for ten years and are quite happy with the place.  The view from the pool area can't be beat! 

Hey Guys.  As first year racers with GBCA we have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  We've met great people and have gotten less slower with each opportunity.  We added a folding prop and made crew changes and now would like to add a pole.  Whisker or spinnaker.  Does anybody have a pole in their garage no longer then 13.25 ft. they would be willing to part with for a reasonable cost.  My wife said she needs this so when I start barking for sail trim on the downwind leg, she'll have something long enough to shove up my a--!! We have a 32 1/2 ft sloop. THANKX..

Any Photos of the Mixed Doubles Race on Sunday yet?

Is there a reason why the race results don't include actual and adjusted finish times?  Some of the older regattas illustrate this info, but the latest regattas just show order of finish.  It would be nice to know how close or far away we were from the boats finishing in front of us..Being a newbe, it may boost our morale somewhat!
