Gary,

You will probably have better luck selling these items on the Southwest and US websites.  Contact the Class office for the US site and look on the SW site to see if there are instructions to place an ad.  Both should be free to Class Members.

Forwarded your email to Scott Grandt (owner of Red Stripe @ HYC).   Don't forget to check junk mail folder case he sends you info.

thx

Is this another big secret this year?

FYI -  Bob, whom ever you use; you are probably looking at a fix of one or more of the below:

1)  Bad wiring (usually ground wiring but sometimes positive continuity)
2)  Bad buzzer (I didn't sell many of these so not usually the problem)
3)  Bad sensors (most likely problem other than #1, sold a ton of those)  Temp gauge sensor, Temp buzzer sensor, Oil Pressure sensor
4)  Bad gauges.  Happens every once in a while, probably not the problem

Parts are relatively cheap.

Yes, Gulf Coast Complete Marine Service (Gulf Coast Composite) is the main service and parts dealer in Texas.

Bee,

All true.  First 3030 I raced against was in Corpus......fun to watch those guys rockin & rollin.  Was thinking it would make a good starter boat in non-spin.  Light air performers do pretty well in non-spin....specially down wind.  It'll be sporty enough upwind for a newish helmsman learn about "boat feel".  Hopefully the boat is solid and someone will pick it up and start racing.  Not to late for Rum #7.

This might make a good Rum Race boat.  No interest in this game, just thought it was interesting.  Recommend a Good survey.  If you know someone wanting to get into the game or upgrade....this might be a good boat.

Don't think Port A has a crane/hoist.  The Hobie 33s, Melgi & Corsair Trimarans ramp launch/retrieve.  There is a boat hoist & mast crane in Corpus on the L-Head.  I think it was taken over by CCYC, don't know the capacity.    There is also a travelift at the CC Marina. 

We are square!  Found lodging for them...thanks.

Looking for lodging for friends (husband & wife) for Fri & Sat.  A good floor or tent space will do. 1/2 is crewing for me in Mallory Qualifier at the Leukemia Cup (I'll be representing GBCA); the other 1/2 is racing at Seabrook Sailing Club.  Thoughts and suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

FYI - In the US, this shutdown of the DIY will continue to be the trend.  The environmental impact risks are being assumed by the marine yard operator (not you as a DIY).  Eventually the requirements will get too high for regular folks to follow and/or marine operators will eventually suffer fines and stop the DIY'er option.  Just a matter of time unless the paint mfg. can make great bottom paint without polluting the environment.  just sayin'

Most Dehu's won't  work under 65.

From the PHRFGB website, "There are no hull restrictions other than the self-righting requirement."  Unless your FD is self-righting, it looks like no PHRF rating will be issued.
