Thanks to all of the volunteers, Lacy brothers, Bee's kind words Saturday night and for all of the congrats that we received. That was some good ole hard racing. Good times indeed...

Now back to the grind!

The cell phone was a good invention, email not so much.

Thanks again all

Me thinks Stinger won. We lost our big lead when we had our mainsail laying on our deck for around an hour. I don't remember any cries of joy on our boat when the waves were crashing over...

Ok HYC peeps, could you give us any insight about your intentions of running this race with the current entries?

It would be great for us and our crews weekend planning.

What are you guys thinking?

Thanks for any thoughts that you could let slip out... 

Bee, I was going off of your DONE comment but my comments towards you and Kevin were tongue in cheek. Trust me Bee we all know you love your 105 and Kevin we pretty much run in the same circles, no hating here. My point was, I personally think Scott is going to have a hard time selling the 111. Is it a nice boat, yes from what I've seen. Kevin even though you like it would you pay 300+ k for it? Even if someone just gave you 300k cash?

Trust me I can't afford it and maybe that makes me bias, crap I had to go into thirds in a 68k boat. Even if I did have the money it would be hard for me to justify buying a 111 when I could go buy 5 1D35's or 3 Melges 32"s which are as fast or faster for the same cost. I guess I expected the boat to be much faster than it is, since it's 2011, Plus now guys that are sailing it are saying it's not as fast as it's rating. Now my second point, if anyone can do it, J Boats can. Just my opinion and I hope Scott sells a bunch of them so we have more boats to race against. Maybe Scott will read this and explain it's nitch that I don't see.

I find it funny. According to Bee it's already been decided, since the 111 kick our ass in one rum race. Now Kevin says the rum race that they won starting at 36 isn't fair. What is it with you j boat lovers???

All joking aside, there's nobody better at marketing than j boats, freaking nobody. The 111 in this market will be tough row to sow. A 300 k PHRF boat that's not faster than 10 year old boats at 1/5th the cost. This whole sport is just bizarre:-)

Then, if for some reason the 111 reaches one design mass, at what cost to the 105 and 109 classes. Or are there some rich guys waiting in the weeds for the 111 to come before they start racing??? I'm not saying the 111 isn't a good boat, I'm just saying... PHRF usually in the end gets the numbers right and in the end the 111 will end up with the right number. IMHO

That's got Jody written all over it... Good job, thanks for the love...

To late Scott, she already paid off Saturday... besides doesn't every part of the team win, boat, crew and skipper?

Good on team Musica, that is a very big commitment, everything wise, on their part.
