No we traded it to Kevin Hayes (Hayes Rigging) for some work on our boat. I'm sure he still has it and his ad is on this site. It a (Hall Spar) looks brand new and has standard spinnaker pole ends on it. We also have a (Hall Spar) carbon fiber reaching strut if your interested and we would let it go a $200. 

I like the idea but how many boats would we lose to the lake on real Wednesday nights?

Janet at Bahama Rigging has a ton from Saturday.

It wasn't pleasant at all Mr Bee, it also included 4 months of fighting with an insurance company...

Mr. Hayes jumped on this deal!

It's the top of a 1D35 mast, around 16' / Cost = Case of Coors Light

Great for a J-24 or 80.

Around 18' carbon fiber spinnaker pole for sale.

Made by Hall Spars, looks brand new with it's own full length cover.

The first 1000 bucks, takes it home.

When I was given the great job of tracking the PHRF boat of the year scoring three years ago, I saw that it was really just a participation award. I was also told, that was the intent but I didn't like that answer. So I actually spent a decent amount of time taking the results of six major regattas on the bay and comparing them to the participation award winners. I mean no disrespect to the previous phrf boat of the year winners because I'm one of them. My idea was to take the winners (w/l spin & non-spin, distance spin & non-spin) of those six regattas and have a 1 day phrf championship race off. Consisting of one distance race and one w/l race for the spin and non-spin classes. It would be sponsored by the phrf board along with a different club each year. You could easily add the one design winners and make it a Bay Championship.   

The idea was voted down because of some good arguments. Where are you going to stick another race day in at the end of the year, volunteers for RC, what if the guy with the most wins can't make that one day regatta and / or what if a guy with 6 regatta wins lost the race off to a guy with one regatta win?

Personally I like the idea of a Galveston Bay Championship Regatta but there would be some problems that would need to be worked out.

We have 4 or 5 jibs and 3 spinnakers for sale off of a 1D35 for sale.

They are older designs but no delam. $200 each

I = 42.3'    J = 12.5

No Walter, I didn't know that but thanks for making me aware!

Bee, I did not know that about the 105 class rules, interesting!

It seems that would entice closer port / starboard crossings? Does it or about the same?

It's actually two 360's, except on Wednesday nights...

SOLD, it's probably halfway to San Diego by now.

Thanks again mods for this new section!

Yep +1

I hope this trend stops asap!

RIP Chris
