CLR 2026

[crazycarl]

Carl, the entire CLR fleet challenges you to race. Be there or be square

We will be there. Whether we bring the boat along will be determined.

the 19 went in the water yesterday and i had a nice 2 hour sail before the sun went down. putting the trailer away in the backyard after dark i didn't have time to look it over or rinse the saltwater off it. today i did, and what i found isn't good. all the rollers and their brackets need replacing. so do the treated bunks. they are bad enough i wouldn't trailer the boat outside our subdivision. thinking about CLR. i was hoping to bring the boat, but now i doubt that will happen. we will be there with my bicycle and a kayak, but i don't have the time, energy, or cash to fix the trailer right now.

The sail with your 19 sounded fantastic, Carl! So sorry to hear about the trailer situation -- hope you can get it fixed up sooner rather than later. Glad to hear you'll still be attending CLR -- we are hoping to go with our new 2024 Legacy -- and maybe we will also bring our kayaks since you're bringing yours. Bikes would be fun as well!

Hey, Carl, since I don't have my June schedule yet I have no idea whether I'll be able to attend any days this year or not.  You're welcome to use my crappy little Eclipse if you want something to float around in.  I'm about an hour and twenty from Carlyle and kinda opposite the direction you're coming from, but it's yours if you want.  Depending on how my schedule turns out I might be able to help with transport.

That is a very generous offer and I'll take it into consideration. We will be in northern IL the week prior for our grandson's high school graduation. As of now, are not sure if we will be attending the entire week. We have a lot going on this year with out of town visitors, landscaping, and home improvements scheduled in June.

   landscaping and  home improvements getting in the way of sailing, you have got to be sailing. to fast doc, what a guy

[crazycarl]

That's the drawback of building a new house. We have been in it for 3 years and I've spent most my time on the water. Time to start landscaping. Not easy working in the yard when your sailboat is yards away beckoning you.
