I was talking to Chris White today and he said that Andy Schwank and someone else in Anacortes bought or are buying Santa Cruz 27. He also said that Red Line is in Deer Harbor. Does any one know anything more on that?? It would be great to have more boats to race against. Jeff :lol

There are 3 SC27s in Anacortes. Andy bought Chuck Mallarys boat which is now called "Wild Rumpus"... Scot Soes bought a Spinnaker Sailing boat from San Fran not sure what it is called. And Tom Gilbert bought a Spinnaker Sailing boat called "King Cole" which is in need of some renovation which we will hopefully complete by the summer.

There was talk from Steph Schwenk that the SC would make a good OD boat for Anacortes... You might give her a call to organize some events if you want OD.

Are the boats still in SF?? I do have a trailer if they need it. We could have some great OD racing with the 2 Bellingham boats!!

Tom and Scott's (Solitaire)boats are here in Anacortes. Scot sailed his quite a bit this year, we'll see you at Winter Shaw with Wild Rumpus, are the yellow ones really faster?

[Stranger]

I like how the first paragraph says "small self bailing cockpit" and the picture description says "huge cockpit".

Would be great to get some north sound OD sailing... Will you let me bring the J27?

But seriously, you should be able to organize something.

Not really, it's the severe eye strain that slows the competition down.

maybe we can have an informal meeting the night before winter shaw, yeller, rumpus and sf will be there. Shock, Solitaire, Cole, and double H make 7 north of Seattle. Norn, Marionette, and Giant Slayer inhabit that parking lot that is Seattle 10 altogether? Zoea? Mr Magoo?

WE did the Nationals at Cascade Locks and the top 4 boats were yellow!!! I think they are faster or maybe the crew is faster on yellow boats.

Jeff,
Yes, Andy bought a SZ27, its Yellow!
I think the SZ27 in Deer Harbor is the one Marc and Scotty sailed around waldron

I was wondering why you guys jibe out on the south end of Shaw with Blackfoot??? Then the Schocker came along and passed us while we were trying to figure out the new jib setting.. We got back in Wasp Passage and never looked back. Then for some reason the Elwha decided that Sunday was a good day to come threw Wasp.... Go figure.. They never go that way??

[captain midnight]

Looked light on beach, icon appeared to making it with some wind in the middle, I figured we might do an end around Dr White, doesn't look like good decision now...Very happy with boat,Curious about our sails, did our kite look full size to you? Full shoulders and all???

Your kite looked fine. Unfortunately it's bigger then mine (your kite). Had a great day, thanks to the OIYC RC! (This should prolly be on the Winter Shaw blog).

I measured the kites, 1 newish, 2 really old, all are correct to Angus' specs....
