I am in need of crew on Leopard.
Contact me at rdhunkins@verizon.net if interested.
Bob Hunkins

I could use a few crew who know how to fly a spinnaker. Otherwise, I'll go NS.

I'd like to get an ORC rating for my boat,  partially because it would give me some target numbers to shoot for, so I know how good or bad I'm sailing. That and I think ORC can be adjusted for different kinds of race courses. A lot of it can be handled by computers, too, so I don't think it becomes a real nightmare for RC. (Hope I don't come to regret that statement!)

Bob H.

Thanks for all the modernization!
Was wondering if we can see the finishing times posted and have a link on the main GBCA page to the Rum Races? The only way I have found to get there is via the calendar on the right pane, and once that event is over it disappears.

again, thanks! lot of hard work done here!
Bob H.

Leopard will be out this Weds, with the blessing.
