Karen, John, Mike,

Are you guys in the water yet? Did you pay Trading to put your boats in?
Also- is anyone storing trailers at Parkers this summer?

Thanks

Hi guys,

I’m not in yet. My boat is at waterline getting work done and they are still at it. I will probably launch next week. Arg!

I was quoted $7 per foot to launch with the Marblehead trading co.

Also, I just got quoted 225 to store my trailer at the laundry. That has gone up.

I’m without a boat until probably the 10th at the earliest.

My boat if getting vermiculite fixed and a bottom job. Turns it I’ve been sailing with a wiggly keel for many years now. Long story.

Hi John,

Sorry to hear that your J/24 is in "boat jail." I'm sure it will be worth the wait though.

Did your quote from MHD Trading include stepping the mast?
Thanks

Hi,

Not including mast no. However, they offer to do it or help do it providing help at $90/man hour. I discussed it with them and I will probably get the mast all read for them to help at the end. So, it should not be a lot of $ on top. I think they want to use the crane after the boat is in the water. This works ok but you would want to supervise.

Are you in yet?

I am not in yet.

The Harbors and Waters Board meets tonight at 7:30. I'm tempted to go and ask for information about Parkers, but it will be tough for me to get there in time.

Xingu will not be launching in MHD this year. Program is winding down. Changing of the colors is our only regatta this year.

Hi! I just launched today!!! There’s still some rigging stuff to sort out, had a hard time figuring it out today with the 7 yr old in tow.

She’s looking sharp though! I bit the bullet & painted her. I know it’s not the best racing color, but I love it! (Over the line blue). 

Marblehead trading did launch her & there are a bunch of boats sitting in their yard. This guy Ralph is helping to crane them in - Jocelyn Cook would have more info - Calgon was there.

I currently have my trailer at Parkers, but I’m going to sell it. It’s in pretty rough shape & made working on her a bear. It’s cheaper to rent jacks than store it. $100 and she’s anyone who’s interested - covers the cost of storing & hauling for one month - which I’m going to have to pay. I’m going to put it up on the garage this week or next. 

I am hoping to race her in more than the Noods, but don’t know if I’ll manage it this season. Maybe a bit of Summer series over at JYC & some Fall? Since we’re unlikely to get a fleet start in anything here. I’ve been doing PHRF on Wednesday’s - doing bow for Goldeneye, but I prefer one design. 

If you want to get out on the water before your boats are in let me know. I’m always happy  to go out!

Best - K

Anybody have a bunk for an out of town crew member? My son is inviting a guy from the Portland fleet but I need a place for him to stay.

Hi all. I’m sailing in NOODS with Marty Gallagher on Shifty...looking for an extra J24 spreader end cap. Anyone have a spare or know where we might be able to get one?

Thank You,

I would check with Gregor Williams. His boat is at Parker’s and he’ sailing on a 105 or a 70.
