I have long been a fan of Brett's sails and would like to order a suit for the LA North Americans. Ross won the World's with his design in California. If there is sufficient interest ( 3 or more), he will be doing a run of sails over the winter. Let me know if you have interest.

T-Shirt Order

Hello all;

Use this blog to comment about my T-Shirt message.

The price to have these printed is going to be around $11.00 so I think we should charge $15.00 to make sure we are over taxes etc.

I can order other sizes if needed - I'll just add them to the base order of 24.

Amazing Med Cup Pictures

If you'd like to see some amazing shots of TP52s and TP42s in high wind racing go to this link - http://2009.medcup.org/gallery/ Choose "image gallery" and then look at the series titled Cartagena DAY 3.

The amount of water that is coming over the boats is fantastic. One boat claims they reached 26.5 knots of boat speed. And from what I ready there was very little damage which is really incredible for these high tech… Continue

Labour Day Regatta

Wow - what a weekend! Some wild and whacky weather made for a very interesting regatta. First of all congratulations to our winners - Foss Miller and Stu Frost, from the Puget Sound Fleet, who didn't seem to be bothered by much of anything out there and took away first place honours for the second year in a row. Larry Warshawski and Thomas Franz edged out Dennis Burgess and Gordon Clay for second place.

Also a big thank you to the race committee who did a very nice job of trying to… Continue

District 6 Championships At Budd Inlet

The Star Class District 6 Championship Regatta was a great event for all thanks to the superb work of Vicky Sheldon and her race committee crew. I am very appreciative of all who stepped forward to help out and all who participated in this event. This was our first effort at hosting a major Star event and everything worked well. We challenged the Westbay Marina hoist staff with our in and out schedule, but they did an excellent job as well.

The winds played with us on Saturday with… Continue

WAVES-Congrats Steve and Rob

I just wanted to post a quick note to say that Paul and I were thrilled with the official results of the WAVES regatta. The right team won. I have spent years chasing those two around in J 24s and I sense it will continue in a Star. That's why I am out there.
Bruce.
(we're com'n for ya ,though!)

English Bay Fleet - June Series Report

A warm, shifty weather system over the weekend provided some challenging conditions for most boats. Steve Fleckenstein (8028) didn't seem to find many serious challenges though, and sailed a very consistent regatta, winning 6 of 8 races and finishing 2nd in the other 2. Don Campbell (7607) did a good job of saving a couple of races to claim second on the weekend and Bruce Long, a new member this season, has quickly learned how to get a Star up to speed, claiming third… Continue

T-Shirts

Hello everyone. Andreas was kind enough to give us the artwork from the North Americans and a couple of previous pieces from T-Shirts of old. I've managed to rework the NA logo for this year. The front design is immediately below the post and then the back design follows at the bottom of the page. Please let me know anyone would be interested in ordering some if we got them made up. I can make changes to the logo if anyone has suggestions. One thought is about the year - it doesn't have to be… Continue

Medcup update

Our very own Ross MacDonald is the tactician on Bribon, a T52 competing in the Medcup off the coast of Spain. They started the season off in fine fashion by winning the first race at Alicante. I've added a link to the site so you can keep up with them as the season progresses. Here's a link to the latest report - Medcup Report

Congratulations Ross and keep up the good work.

Cheers for now and happy sailing.

English Bay Fleet Spring Series Report

A relatively light and shifty weekend for the English Bay Fleet season opener on Saturday and Sunday. With the exception of races 3 and 4 on day one we experienced light winds from the East, with several delays waiting for wind and one abandonded race. The weather was mild with a sunny day on Saturday and clouds on Sunday. We still managed to get 6 races in and over all an enjoyable day on the water.

Phil Lockwood (7988) won his first series event with a steady performance on both… Continue
