Awesome, Jamie! You're going to be a racin' fool. You talk about going down to Annapolis or someplace in October? Are you going to winter farther south next year?

Aren't you forgetting the Lake Huron International Schooner Race up in Brights Grove?

Scheduled for some fine summer with a single,winner takes all, race beginning off Wildwood Park with a 15km run up to Kettle Point,then a fine beat off to the Southwest for another 15 km before turning for the final stretch toward the finish line back off Wildwood Park? The S/V LAURA ELLEN is expected to be in fine fresh form and should give a good show of herself with a nice friendly ass wuppin' of the infamous S/V AIRLIE. :D


Peter,not taking sides or nothing but ya know, jest friendly stuff.I'd even volenteer to crew on the home town favorite.............:D

[adampet]

You could also do this race in October, just up the Rappahannock River a bit from the Chesapeake Bay.

Don't know the exact October date for this year. There are at least a few forum members who participate. I would be up for crewing that race. Google Deltaville or Yankee Point Marina for information on local marinas.

[Russ Manheimer]

Jamie,

What about the ERR, the first weekend in August. Then cruise around till the SRR. The feeder races from Castine to Camden and then to Brooklin are a real hoot too.

See you at some point.

Opera cup?

[S.V. Airlie]

Micky.. maybe a winter location in slightly warmer climates next year. If I do the Ches. Bay Schooner Race.. well, I'm a bit further south. Will see.. Being a loiveaboard now is getting to be more difficult. Supposedly there are several in the Baltimore area.
The Rappahanock races in Oct. a maybe... as is the Ches Schooner race...
I know that area fairly well anyway as my brother keeps his boat in Deltaville.
Lake races.. not this year.
Russ.. that would work.. early August..

Still checking to see when the Schooner races are in NS...

adampet.. You are now officially in.. Pm me your address and phone number. I'll keep you up to date on specific schedules.. parties, gatherings etc...already have the itinerary for the Provincetown week in hand.. Umm, looks like four days of dark and stormies, concerts, bands, and sailing/racing. Gonna be quit a show Provincetown is going to be putting on.

[StevenBauer]

Put me down for crew for the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta! Did you read the article about turning down sponsorship for the Regatta and keeping it run by volunteers? You can get to it from WB's homepage.


Steven

[S.V. Airlie]

okay Steven.. you're on the list..Actually no list yet for that one so one had to be created...
Haven't read the article.. Will do. I'm always ready to volunteer anyway if there is a need.

[sv Lorelei]

Pencil me in for the Gov's Cup race Jamie....I'll try not to get in the way too much!

[S.V. Airlie]

Lorelei..

Great on this one.. Wanted to go in it last year but wasn't back in time... I'll either be at the EYC or the River Museum dock...
I'll be in touch before then. I don't think the application forms etc. are ready on line yet.

[KNOCKABOUT]

I'd love to help out in the Gov. Cup.

Thank you. My time is absorbed by my company... I think I sailed twice last year. I'm very close to getting the company profitable, and its been a very difficult though altogether enjoyable process. Thanks for thinking of me.

[elf]

Jamie, did you include the Tiedemann in your schedule? Last weekend of June in Newport. Weekend.

[S.V. Airlie]

elf..isn't that the same timeas the WBS?

[S.V. Airlie]

Knock makes 2 for the gov. cup.. two more for that race and I'm good...

[elf]

Hmm. Well, seems the Tiedemann is the July 4th weekend this year.

So you don't have to leave home until the WBShow, and you can take a leisurely sail to Newport from there.

Seems workable... Umm, gotta thinkon this.. Just a hop skip and a jump to Newport..

[elf]

And big fireworks on July 4th over Newport, too.

Check in with the MOY about a slip unless you have acquired a dinghy.

I think I can afford to look into a real dinghy now...So, the search for one will begin elf.

[StevenBauer]

Don't forget about the Compass Project. They can build you a beauty and you'd be helping out a good cause. :)

It is on my mind... I liked what I saw there...Wish they were closer to here though...I gave them a heads up on my old dink.. the lawley design. Mentioned that Dave had it now in Boothbay. It was a great rowing machine... Now if one could be built there... I'd go for it...

[Green Boat]

Jamie, hows it goin? r u still planning to be in Gloucester for the schooer races?

[S.V. Airlie]

Green boat.. That is the plan!

[Green Boat]

Ill be on Gloucester during the races and if i can get a day of shore leave would you like another hand onboard?

[S.V. Airlie]

Green Boat.. Yup.. Not a problem at all and I could use a little help..

[Mrleft8]

Gonna straighten out yer masts before the races start, or just hope for really long port tacks? ;)

[S.V. Airlie]

Yes Dougy I am planning on putting in the mast wedges correctly when Airlie gets hauled out in 3 weeks plus or minus.
