[Rhodes22-list] Anne's Kentucky Race Season

[ed kroposki]

Anne,

I feel left out.  You are not sending all of us your race story.  In past
years you were not so picky.  Humph.

You can tell us all about strategy, techniques, equipment.  Do they use
PERF's or handicaps?  Help us day sailors learn what makes a race boat a
race boat.

Are you worried that maybe Rummy will make the trip to Kentucky Lake some
day?  Wasn't there a football coach who said that he could give his opponent
his playbook and still beat him?  You had me convinced that you were very
good.  Oh well, I guess it is a year later. 

Ed K

Wally,
SO take the crew position on the J boat. It will be
great experience. I started on J24's. Was fast learning
or you're off the boat. You are a great candidate for that.
I just don't race the rhodes...I cruise in the Rhodes and
race on boats for racing. I love both aspects of sailing
equally. I am sending you off line a race story from this
weekend.
Anne

Anne,

We take December off and start back up again the first Saturday in January.
Our group typically races at least once every month except Jul, August, and
December.

There usually is only five or six boats in the A Fleet and 6 to 12 in the B
fleet. A huge turn out would be tweny plus boats but we only get that a
couple of times a year. When it is cold the turn out is light but that is
when we have some of our best winds.

I really want to get some more time on  bigger boats. I have had a couple of
offers to crew next year in the A Fleet and I think I may wind up crewing on
a J 33. Then again I may try to find some crew for my boat so I can fly
Spinnaker. Either way I wil be sailing and that is a good thing!

Wally
