Well, I finally got a chance to test the Huntingford Helm Impeder this afternoon and evening. What a great gadget! Why did it take me so long to get around to...
John, That Huntingford Helm Impeder Looks very cool. I've played with variations on that theme and they are nice. Just a note that they should only be used in...
I'm going to meet Dick Mitsch and his son for a sail tomorrow (Tuesday) at Foster reservoir near Sweethome. If there are any other deadbeats who have the free...
The Huntingford Helm Impeder (love that name!) isn't a self-steerer, so the boat will still round up in a gust, just not as fast as if you threw up your hands...
I think it is the county river patrol rather than the CG that usually retrieves the unzipped victims. I recall a talk given by a member of the Multnomah Co....
I have no doubt that many men have drowned while trying to take a leak over the side, but I think the commonly referred to statistic that "most men found...
We had a good sail at Foster Reservoir Tuesday. It's a nice little (1220 acres) lake, but with too many motorboats. It looks like weekdays are the time to...

Looks as if you fellas had a great day for sailing John! Was the weather nice? Lake sailing I have done but once. Perhaps the day or lake that I chose to ...
Hi Dennis, I went sailing today, in the lake near my home (two blocks away) Yes, the wind does seem to change a lot, so you must tack, and head out in another ...
The weather was nice, almost too warm, but not quite. The breeze was off and on, sometimes nice (Dustin measured 14 somethings (was that knots or mph?) from...
I have had all sorts of wind on lakes. I have had really exciting sailing on Cullaby Lake down by Fort Stevens where the wind blows off the ocean and across...
Now that the rain has stopped I've been able to make some progress on my boat. I'll post some photos when I can get some that will actually show some progress....
I recently discovered that the rig for the Jet 14 is the same as a Snipe's. I don't know if that knowledge is useful to Dennis or or not though. <g> ...
I posted some pics of a test jib I built for Surprise this weekend. Tested it today at Vancouver Lake. Works great but I really gotta get some hardware...
Hello John! Wish I was outsailing the summer with you guys! Soon hopefully the Mrs. & I will be able to join in on the fun. I am not sure about the Jet 14 &...
Sweet looking execution Steve. For the investment of a little of your time, you cranked your performance up a notch! Thanks for the pix too, it makes me want...

Typical wind on the lake is out of the north or northwest. The pics show a typical day conditions. The wind can really blow here but I have found that the...
Looks like you got a good do on your jib. Sets pretty well, even with the sheet lead so far back. Moving it forward should take most of the twist out. One...
Monday my girlfriend and I took a little jaunt up Schofield Creek in Reedsport. It's pretty nice up there, if you ignore the scalped hillsides, and look the ...
Hi John, Iv'e always wondered about Schoufield? cr. Thought it would make a nice paddle trip on slack tides. I got a new (differnt) little sail boat I'm going...
I think I'm nearly done with epoxy for a little while. I have a "Glass" boat now. I'm starting the process of getting a Title and Registration. Anybody gone...
Got the answer for my "Inspection" questions. All the Sheriff wants to know is if the boat may be stolen. No real "Inspection" of construction or anything. ...
Scholfield Creek (I just discovered there's an extra 'l' lurking in the name) would be a nice paddle if there is public access inside the creek. If you put in...
