Alex Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 SAT...S WIND 20 TO 30 KT. WIND WAVES 3 TO 5 FT. Can't wait for the carnage to begin! Quote
sobo Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 Looks like an Olson 30. Is that your boat? Quote
Alex Posted December 4, 2003 Author Posted December 4, 2003 Thats the Chicago boat I did the Mac on. Mine is Quote
sobo Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 Niiiiiice. Nothing like a "Toilet Seat 30" for fun on the waves. I used to race with the Ozone with Ken Marks and John Lietzinger, before they sold it and bought an Express 37 (Kahuna). Did SIN 2002 and WIRW 2002 last eyar with the Kahuna. Adult summer camp! Quote
Alex Posted December 4, 2003 Author Posted December 4, 2003 They made a mistake getting the bigger boat, as Express 37s are no longer going to be able to compete in the "Level 73" class. Olsons are the shit! http://www.olson30.org/nationals/2001/media/easterday/107-0733_IMG%5B1%5D.jpg Quote
catbirdseat Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 Those pictures are cool. I guess the sailor is still there somewhere inside the climber. It's been something like two years since I've been on a sailboat. At one time I was sailing five days a week. Quote

pc Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 Very excited for the race. Hopefully it will not be a floater like last year. Is your O30's name "Wild Turkey"? Quote
AlpineK Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Umm, I hate to be a stickler but doesn't this belong in spray. Quote

Lambone Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Since it came up...here is our little boat. Catalina Capri 22 hull 1033. She still needs a name... We plan on club racing her once we are not so suck and get a spiniker. Quote

Lambone said: We plan on club racing her once we are not so suck and get a spiniker. Fahq, Bone, just go ahead and get the spinnaker and race her. Worry about "not being so suck" later. Some of the best times I had in club racing was when we WERE so suck. No pressure on you then. You can just get drunk and sail, and no one cares, as long as you don't cut across someone on a starboard tack (or run into the committee boat ). Quote
