When you get your boat swing by my marina. I would really be rateful
if you would pull me around the lake a few times on my ol Cypress
Garden Skis.

After that perhaps we can go out into the bay and race to redfish and
back
or something Ill bet you a Steak Dinner at the Aquarium that Redcloud
will win.

This way I can take pictures post them here and let all know that you
are not a trool, and that you are indeed just a lubber that bought a
bad boat.

I'll be happy to come by and let you get some pictures and then race out
to redfish. However, I would like a glass or two of Bordeau with my steak.

I should be on the water around May 10.

nice breeze, 30+ knots or so, no were near 70, but still enough to get us moving.

Joe, could you give me a little information about your boat? What is the
length of the water line? Apparently it is a steel-hulled ketch of about
30-35 feet? It must be as fast as a bat out of hell in 30-knot winds.

38 at the waterline.

At 30 knots in the bay you will not be able to sail your Mac. Were
talking about 5 footers spaced about 10 to 20 feet apart. And you
will have so much windage I doubt you will be able to motor. And with
that flat bottom if your not swamped your crew will be violently
tossed over.

At 30 knots with one reef Im just getting up to hull speed and
crusing in comfort.

See you in May or June.

How deep's the bay, Joe? Sounds like Lake Alexandrina on a late
afternoon in summer, tho' the waves collapse once they're over
five feet, and 30' of Lady Kate just reaches from crest 1 to
crest 3, with crest 2 in the middle. That's in 3-4m so 10-14 feet
(?)

About the same depth tad 8-14 feet we have to watch the board or we
leave a mud trail behind us. It's nice in the bay to have a boat
longer than the wave length. Jim's gonna get murdered in the bay if he
ever gets sideseas in a wicked front or squall. And Galveston Bay is
famous for its squall lines going thru like freight trains.

It's not that fast a boat Jim. Im lucky to hit the 9-10 knot range
surfing down a wave. What it is thou is stable, and steady in
conditions that most want to run back the dock or boat ramp and get
out of. The bay is not the best area for redcloud since I can not
lower the board all the way. With the board down all the way we have
sailed with a 100% jib, main and mizzen in 30 knots steady but we were
a bit overpowered but racing in the Harvest moon. Not going to race
offshore anymore, I saw the regettas we did as shake downs to cruise.

But I will do some racing here in the bay. Inshore just about ever
other boat can beat us, unless it's a MacMorph.
