Yep. Beautiful ship.


But she was the only one in her division.


You think Red Cloud could beat her?


DSK


Maybe when I extend her to 62 ft and add another mast.

The Elissa could make 14 knots under some conditions. Not the fastest,
but not the slowest either.

Seems like eveyone had a nice fair winds regetta with only one slack
morning.

Maybe next year RedCloud will race again..

How's it going Jim? You been out sailing lately? Perfect weather huh?

Joe


I was out sailing Wednesday, but as you may remember, we didn't have
much wind. Also, apparently I will have to have the bottom cleaned.

I have been working on some projects for NASA and haven't had much free
time recently. - However, I still expect to owe you lunch at the
Aquarium, if we ever get our race to Red Fish Island organized.
