Can anyone recommend a boat insurance person?

Splice the Main Brace is Pirate talk for "have a drink (or perhaps several).Oh ya, it's that time of year again. Break out the Rum (Racing)!!!  Well, this coming Saturday, June 6th is the first race of 2015 Run Race series. So rustle up the crew, grab your Cruzan Rum (ya, they sponsor us so let's support them) and get ready for a SUNNY day out on Galveston Bay.

Party? Glad you asked, of course, come by your Clubhouse after the race for a get together with a couple of hundred or so of your closest sailing cohorts.

An ?All Points Bulletin? has been issues for a missing Italian suite jacket. Last seen sitting innocently (of course that?s what they all say) on the back of a chair at the GCBA Commodore?s ball. It fits a body that is 6? tall and has a dark completion (blue on blue stripes). It goes by the name of Boggeri.  Be very careful, this jacket could have snuck into your closet disguised as, you guessed it, a suit jacket. Alcohol could have had something to do with its disappearance though the jacket doesn?t normally drink. Last seen hanging out with some ostrich cowboy boots, blue and black poke-a-dot socks and sitting at the Leading Edge table (which could be cause alone for its disappearance). Any information as to its ?wear? abouts   would be greatly appreciated. I tearfully still recall its last words: ?Grande Festa (Great Party)!!!?

Does anyone have any knowledge of Expedition sailing software? If so, can you provide a brief overview of its features?

Does anyone know if any of the canvas shops that sponsor GBCA? I need to replace my boat's canvas and I want to support the business that support us!

I registered my classic 39yr old Flying Dutchman for the cruising class and received a PHRF rating of 87. Do I have to have a minimum of 400lbs of weight under my boat to be able to race?

Thanks for any guidance,
Steve
