GBCA Discussion Forum

any  daily results for us out of towners???  Currently in London.

Thanks for coming, we'll see you again, I hope.

Here is my contact info for J/80 Whiskey Tango--Alan Bates--281.212.7348

Jim,
It is on the GBCA calendar as Memorial Day Weekend--5/28.

How is your spring/summer shaping up?  Got sailing?

Any sailing instructions online--they vanished from the skipper's meeting?

We nailed the start--and found all the holes afterward.  Our sail inventory was short the only one we needed after the start line--Jib Top.
It was on order with Pedro, but could not get to the race course on time.  We sailed the first few hours in the soft underbelly of Musica, narrow reaching in 10-12 knots with only a jib to use.  We tried our code zero and it dragged us north soon after the start, and the Gulf Stream added to that.  The Fast 40 Different Drummer stayed in decent wind the whole way and was the only boat to finish our class.  Lot's will be added to the B Sailing facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/pages/B-Sailing/157390607941

B Sailing goes international....

all that aside--it really comes down to: porta potty vs. real marine head. 

Bee--PLEASE let me know where I can get 4 new J105 sails for $3,600

Enjoy not being a boat owner AND still go sailing on a J/80 and J/105--www.bsailing.com
(shameless plug)

I will not miss getting caught in the huge bad air zone Triple Play blanketed the start line with. 

I am not going to be able to be there--but, quiet as it's kept--mention B Sailing Zippity or Doodah on Q5 or F19, and the guards will let you in.

GoPro in action with iMovie editor--please subscribe to BeSailing Video channel.

Here is a whole bunch of sailing enthusiasts--check out this group.  I have been running this group a couple of years- if you join, you could contact other members and find willing sailors, I bet.

Thanks to everyone for a good regatta, and some exciting looking weather.  Sorry I missed the awards--congratulations to the pickle dish holders.
