If you are interested in crewing let me know asap.

that would be a nice addition

 I am looking at the sailing instructions for Sundays mixed doubles race. I thought M52 was gone. Has it been replaced?

Let the cruising class start early and move the rest back to the hour later start time.

I agree with Kevin. An hour less in peak heat, one more hour for family obligations before leaving for sailing, sailing in with the sun setting... maybe even some night sailing on low wind days.

I just saw the poll at the top of this post. Everyone please take the poll. At the moment the sentiment is to leave the start time as it was.

Charles,

More often it starts light and builds.
Why don't you poll the members and see what they want as far as start time goes. I think starting the cruising class earlier, if that is what they want, would be a good solution.

Balancing family and sailing is pretty tricky and the source of some pretty serious tension in my household and an earlier departure just adds to the problem.

This matter should be decided by the members of the club not by a committee.

I would prefer to leave the start time as it was for most of the reasons outlined by Bee. More time in the sun before the wind fills in does not sound inviting. Additionally, with kids at home, taking a bigger bite out of the day for sailing is not optimal.

W/L please

Should have posted to General Discussion- please move or remove as needed.

The owner of a J 92 located on Canyon Lake contacted me and asked if I knew of a buyer that might want the boat for Galveston Bay before she put it on the market. This looks like it could be a good buy based on the information shared with me. Includes a new set of Carbon UK sails that have never been hoisted and a new aluminum trailer (I would sell the trailer to reduce the basis in the boat). If you have an interest contact me.

Looking for one or two to crew for Bay Cup. gecushing at g mail. com

Bee, turn yours back on. Spread the word and urge others to get the ap. Great tool and nice to see the replay.

Looking for 2 crew for tomorrow. Anywhere on the experience spectrum is okay.

Experience with asymmetrical foredeck would be ideal.

Others welcome. Need one spot filled.

Experienced foredeck crew with asymmetrical spinnaker experience would be ideal. Boat is at Houston Yacht Club. One race on Sunday, pursuit format. Should be done by 2.

Will also take crew without foredeck experience. Call or text George at 713-906-7350.
