Just thought I would post a photo and welcome this new RC-27 to the ranks. He will be tearing up the water on the New England coast.

Don,
Tom talked to Mike yesterday. It sounds like the conditions were more survival versus sailing.
It sounds like Mike played it pretty safe and I think he was second to finish.

Well it is April 5th and there is still ICE, but it is getting close. I would guess the easter Bunny will need to get his boat out and put away the skates!

Hello,
I took this picture yesterday and thought I would see if any of you can figure out what it is.
Any Ideas???

Not quite paradise, but the weather is getting nicer here.
A bit windy and cold today, but they are talking highs in the 50's - 60's by the end of next week.

Here are some of the sights we enjoyed! :D For those of you in the southern states, YES that is ICE. Over 27...

Bill Roberts tabulated this data for us a few months ago, here is a list of all the years that a ARC, RC or SuperCat has won the Mug Race. I thought a few of you might enjoy this.

Liam, There are several things that can make mast stepping easier. The first thing is to set the boat with the bow sitting slightly downhill so gravity works for you once your on your way up. This also helps to hold the mast upright when your crew is putting the pin in the forestay. The second thing...
