Yeah, the race was canceled. That allowed much more time for taking pics.

The NOR says starting time is 1400 but the SI says 1100.  Can you please clarify which is correct?

Renaissance could use 1-2 additional crew for TRW, especially Saturday.

Could use help Wed night and return Sunday.

Galveston Bay Area Racing / 2017 Informal Bay Racing
April 27, 2017, 08:43:30 AM
Some skippers were talking about it after the WNR last night.  I am taking the liberty of posting it here.   Here's a rehash of what Gary organized last year:
Course is Icicle standard ( Start->H->E->Finish)
Start time: your Icicle Race  start time + 6 hours - most boats start between 5:45 pm and 6:15 pm

Icicle SIs are still on the GBCA page (thanks Darin!):

Galveston Bay Area Racing / Autopilot?
September 16, 2016, 12:02:23 PM
As a still noobi boat owner I have a question to the sailing community:  How much do you use your autopilot?

My boat came with one and it worked ok for a while. It no longer works and I removed it because it failed in a way that caused the wheel to bind.  I liked it on the occasions that  I used it. The wheel lock seems to work nearly as well. Seems most of my sailing has been racing where I can't use it if it did work.  I am trying to decide if fixing it should be on my long list of repairs.

Thanks

General Discussion / Dirty Fuel Tank
February 25, 2016, 03:31:45 PM
Renaissance (Catalina 30) has been plagued by fuel contamination - plugged filters, plugged pickup tubes, etc. I have had the tank cleaned/polished by Diesel Fuel Maintenance. Everything I have done has has fixed the problem at the time, only to have the problem move and the engine lose power or stall.

I can drain and remove the tank from the boat pretty easily. At least access to it is easy. Any suggestions on how to get the tank REALLY clean?
