Hi Guy,
Thanks for the warm welcome, I am glad to hear from someone on Lake Ontario :) I'll be at RHYC and am doing the Susan Hood this year for sure, June 4th as I am sure you know. We did it last year when that sweeet line squal came through, naturally had all the sail in the world up - but that fat close reach and 7 fat buddies on the rail we took off on the first leg.
The of course we ripped the chute, launching shark style from the cabin. Seemed like a great idea until it was up and we notice it wasn't pulling....and was cut perfectly into two halfs. Went from first to last during the next 6 hours down wind going wing on wing, so needless to say we are eager to past that error and screw something else up this year.
It would be great if you could come out, I am not sure how long the course was but you gotta love the overnighters. Are you the boat with the carbon bow sprit? Looks like a big 49er.
Any way lets work on doing some events together over the summer. I am a big believer in information sharing, boats are frustrating enough. I will be posting what I learn, but if we can get 3 or 4 boats out to the same events even 3 times this summer the learning curve will crank right up. I am woring on a schedule of events Eve will be at this summer. My buddies will take her for a rip if I am to busy, so she is about to become a little active either way.
See you in the spring,
Greg
