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.

Joe

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.

Jim


We will be kicking off to Ambergris Caye Belize later this mo if you
would like to do it then. Not sure if it would be a fair race, as
RedCloud has been gutted to carry cargo and is sitting high in the
water, she gonna fly like a Cloud Jim, you won't have a chance. We
will time our departure with a hopefully strong Northern front.


What about a "bi-athelon race," in which we sailed half the time and
motored the other half? - After all, both modes are of some importance
in a good cruising vessel. For example, sail the first 20 minutes, motor
the next 20 minutes, and so on.
