as far as i know pirates (thats what she tells me). wroundy, stay for the dinner saturday if you can. its always a lot of fun.

[wroundey]

I hope to stay for dinner this year ( and do better in the race). Key determiner is when all my kids have to be at school for college....

   speaking of the race, i have an idea which may make it better. instead of all the boats starting at once lets have the smaller slower cp16s start about 20 minutes before the larger faster boats. then maybe we can reach the raft up location the same time. maybe 30 minutes makes more sense. what do you guys think?

Kick - Hey Mr. Official Race Starter Man.  Are you going to use that same timepiece for the start countdown that you had last year?  Oh that's right, you didn't have one.

B and I hope to attend again.  Got enough room on that 16 for crew?

     no i wont be the official----im gonna leave that to mike c. hes the tech guy and besides small boats start first. hmmmm 4 on a 16? i kind of think that might be a few too many especially racing. i bet a 19 skipper can use a salty pair.

[Greene]

Hmmmm? Lime Bites on Island Time sounds like a good idea.  Nah, he won't take us either.  Capt. Mike wouldn't want all that extra ballast to slow his boat down during a race. We'll have to PM the other CP19 sailors to see what they are serving during the race.

   or you could just buy my 16 (a larger boat may be in our future) then you can show these other swabbies how they sail up north

[mattman]

I think a pursuit race would work something like this

phrf for the 23's is 249
the 19 is 279
and the 16 is 326-335

this would be with standard jib and main, subtract -3 for a 135 or 150.
so lets say the 16 with sprit is 326 and without 335

So for standard 3 leg course 6 miles with standard jibs,

16's start 8 minutes 36 seconds before the 23's
16 with sprit 7 minutes 42 seconds before the 23's
19s 3 minutes before the 23's

at least this is my understanding, I have a friend who does this all the time, I will check with him.

 this looks like a job for carpenter
