How about placing all the libations at the finish line.    I think we'll all be amazed how much faster we sail with the right encoragement.

I'd drink to that!

Interesting PHRF numbers.  Say, Mike G. and Bob 23, what are the PHRF numbers for those racing dinghies?  We need to know when to start you out for the race.

Since Squint is a homemade dinghy she doesn't have an official rating.  Bob's high priced fancy-schmancy Kevlar racing bullet, powered by one tequila infused operator, is off the charts.  Still, Bob is a wimp and would never show up.  I win again.

Starting the smaller boats out earlier than the bigger boats??  Withholding libations???  Maybe we have the crew on the bigger boats start drinking earlier and more often before the race starts?  I'm going to need a bigger boat!  Either way, it is always fun to see all these Com-Pac boats together and I am sure a good time will be had by all.

    sarah and i are hoping that wroundy and his wife get drunk so we wont be in last place----we can count on john to get lost

[crazycarl]

ok, how's this...

the 23s start 1st, followed by the 19s, and then the 16s.

doesn't sound fair?

here's what makes it even...

the 19s are connected to the 23s via bungees, and the 16s are connected to the 19s!

if my math is correct, with sails up, it would give a slight advantage to the 16s because of the slingshot effect.

with sails down, all is even!

i see this working out perfect in my head so it must be right! 

here's the best part,  no one gets left behind or lost!

Hey Greene: You talkin to me? ARE YOU TALKIN' TO ME?  "ARE YOU TALKIN' TO ME???" You've insulted my honor and I demand satisfaction. Dueling dingys at dawn. Be there...unless your'e chicken? Hahahaha...
Braccccckkkk...Bracccckkkkk...Braccccckkkkk!!!  Hahahaha...!!!!! 
The only squint I can think of is you squinting to see me far off in the distance because I've pulled a zillion boat lengths ahead of you!!!! Hahahahahahahahahaha...in my Walker Bay 8!!

I just want everyone to know, that by looking at new sails, I would expect at this years race for me to possibly be 2 places ahead of last year...... which would put me in 1st place.

I am looking very hard at a new set of sails built for speed, because we all know the 19 was built to race.

Due to this very intriguing fact, everyone bring your A game.

Maybe the race should be broken into 16s, since we had so many, 19 vs 23, and then Greene and Bob23.
This to me would be equal, and the 19ers can 23 can sleep in, to allow the 16s to get a head start...... Did they ever show up at the finish line last year??

Anyway, God speed to all, you will need it, this winter I have been stepping up my knowledge..... we will be a threat to the previous trophy holders.

Kick- put me down for three attendees. My cousin is going to meet us out there and plans to attend our festivities.
If the torch is being passed for race committee lead, no fear I will bring a watch and horn.  And a map so no one can claim they didn't know where the finish line is!

Hey Bruce and Greene, I think Mac is talking to us. Let me know if you want to pitch in for a "participation" trophy for Mac and Ginger, that is if you think that's an appropriate honor for landing another 4th place finish.  "A" game...pa-lease newbie...

Wimp.

Bracccckkkkk...Braccccckkkkk....Bracccckkkkkkkk!
   Are there even PHRF numbers for planing hulls or are they meant for diplacement hulls only? I honestly don't know enough about these mysterious numbers...too busy winning dingy racing trophys! And then there's the matter of oars. Is it legal to use Guideboat oars on the dink "Little Fellow"? Or what about my 9 1/2 foot Alden oars? Legal? Of course it's legal...whatever it takes to silence the voices of accusation and win.
   Besides, even if I don't show up, I still win by default. Of maybe a virtual race in which the CLR powers that be could act as judges. You wouldn't think of bribing them, now would you MG?

  wouldnt everyone be surprised to see sarah and i in a non-com-pac boat this year. that would mean we need a new award presented at the saturday feast. im thinking "the texas doug award". any bowling trophy should do.  wonder how my new "j" boat will fare in the big race?
