Hey folks, There will be a catamaran fleet at the Alum Creek Old Fox Regatta on October 15 & 16. Judy, Joey, & I will race one or two of our catamarans. Please...
Hello: Well, after having my ass thoroughly kicked yesterday in 3 straight windward/leward races against complete novices on H16s I'm hoping to start a tuning...
Usually someone reporting inability to point and getting as kicked on a boardless boat means they are pinching. You must get boat speed up before coming up...
And therein lies the reason why about a billion H16s have been sold. I have owned three H16s. I am a very experienced sailor. I don't think I could take a H16...
Maybe it is just operator error. I need to get a feel for the boat. BUT I have "taken" some of these guys (H16) in light air before. I've got a good bit of...
"Maybe too much mast rake? Maybe.......Is there such a thing?" I think John Williams has a definite answer to that question! Right; John? ;-) Mike P.S....

Shawn, I'm going to guess, and just a guess, that you are sliding sideways and sheeting too hard. If we actually saw you sailing we could be more helpful. Mike...
Shawn, The best way to know how hard to sheet the main is to have at least two tell tales on the leach of the main - right at the leach - one high and one low....

Hi Everybody, In Mike Fahle's recent post, he hinted that I was scheming on a Mystere 4.3 regatta for next year. Since I've had a few questions about it, I...
Hi Dave, Jamie told me at the Green Island Regatta that you were arranging the next Nationals, or at least the place to hold one. I just sent this message to ...

Sheesh - you rake back too far ONE TIME and you never get to forget it! :-) Shawn - what you describe is classic pinching on the 4.3. The telltales can fool...
I'm happy to volunteer to help organize the next Nationals - NOR, SIs, coordination, shirt design, whatever. I just want to see it come together again. I had...
You need buyers to grow the class no matter where the boats come from. But if the buyers are not racers, you are not going to notice any class growth, so you...

Hello Folks: I'm in need of a mast tang (mine has a small crack and I just don't trust it... Neither did John:-). He added it to his order for a NEW BOAT and...

... If I may summarize the discussion to date: 1. A little interest in Spring Fever (georgia) 2. Offers to do anything and anywhere in the florida area 3. Some...
Dave, I would really enjoy Pymatuning. As I said before I will go anywhere. But having sailed at Pymatuning before I would certainly like to come back. The...
Hi All; I also would attend a Nationals at Pymatuning Sailing Club. Port Clinton would also be a great place to have a Nationals? I like the idea of setting a...
Planting a seed in your thoughts ... Think "first sailing opportunity of the season"! There has been some talk about several Mystere 4.3s which are currently...
Paul, we will be attending this year with 2 4.3s again. I recently spoke with Mr Ernie and he said that although the announcement isn't out yet that there will...
Hello Folks and Happy New Year. Hope everybody had a safe and happy holliday season. Since most of you sail in ice water (compared to me and Little John ...
Well folks: Looks like I've answered my own question. Found these guys: http://www.lochsaconnection.com/gaskets.htm at that price looks hard to beat. Gotta...
Hello Folks: Does anyone know how to get in touch with someone at Mystere. I need a new mast tang. Their web site is under revision and haven't had much luck...
Guys/Gals: Just want to say Hi. Grand daughter Ashleigh and I are going to Ocean Springs Slip to Ship to buy David Rains # 149. Looking forward to training...
Doug, Welcome, glad to have you and your grand daughter on board. Any chance you might get up Ohio way this summer? A week at Put-In-Bay for Bay Week, the ...
Ohio maybe. I won't have boat in time for Spring Fever, maybe next year, now that the red clay problem is gone. Are there any races in the South? Guess I will...
