This is our boat Senta, a 53' cutter designed by Philip Rhodes, which was built in 1937. It is our home. We did all the exterior bright work and stripped and revarnished the spars last spring, summer and fall. This year we plan to sail from New Rochelle up to Maine.

Gorgeous. Wanna come help varnish my boat? You look qualified. My boat was designed by Al Mason, who studied under Rhodes. I've spent a lot of time sailing in Maine and Canada, let me know if you have any questions.

Laseranimal - let me know if you want to try sailing something a little heavier than a laser.

My sailing plans are fairly standard. Work on boat. Work on boat. Work on boat. Go sailing. Repeat.

Heavy work year, so we won't get too far from home.

Drive to socal, throw away San Juan, get on sled.
:D

moving to dc for sailing :nonono2:

spring and fall are OK, because you avoid most of the worst traffic and there is actually wind. summer is worthless.

My sister dated Jake Chanson, so I know him and his crew who are always together. I grew up over on Black Point. I'm doing summer school in SLC, pretty bummed I won't be able to race this summer. Good luck with your laser. Maybe I'll run into you at Chucks this Aug when I will be back.

Wow, someone on TGR who's from Lake Geneva AND knows the Porter's and people from BV?! Too weird. Anyway yeah, maybe I'll see you this summer around the 'hood. But more than likely I'll be at Gordy's rather than Chuck's :D. Much better food.

bwaaaaaaaa ha ha ha!
for a hat ?
ohhhhhh, that's rich !

Jack: NO… NOT GOOD… STOP… NOT GOOD. What are you doing? You’ve burned all the food, the shade… The rum!
Elizabeth: Yes, the rum is gone
Jack: Why is the rum gone?
Elizabeth: One because it is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels. Two that signal is over a thousand feet high, the entire Royal navy is out looking for me, do you really think that there is even the slightest chance that they wont see it?
Jack: But why is the rum gone?

sad thing is, people will pay stoopid money for a hat they didn't "earn" by "racing" - can you say: poseur extra ordinaire ?
I got so sick of people in bars offering me $100 bucks for my red cap. I finally did take the money in a stupor and proceeded to "drink my hat" with my buddys.
Now where can I get a Red Bull cap ? for cheap ?:rolleyes2

Dude, are you f-in crazy? $600 for a god damn hat, take the f-in money and run!!! You'll be back next year to get another hat. in fact I would get that mother-fers number and sell him a hat every year!

I understand the drunk thing though, after all I got married drunk, therefore I have no room to talk.:)
