Another putzsail race?
 

What do you think? Is it possible? Is there interest? Do I give a
sh*t?

Here's the URL for the proposition. Let me know if you want to get
added to the proposed race committee list.

When is it scheduled for? I'm going to be out that way next March.
Unfortunately the Johnson 18 won't fit in the airlines carry-on.

Don't know... March might be ok. We usually have pretty good weather,
but the wind might be kind of light.

I'm sure you could find one out here...

I guess I don't need to buy a trailer.

I recommend that all boats must be raced
by sailing backwards when sailing downwind,
and frontwards when sailing upwind.

I like that idea. Did you know that on many boats, the spinnaker pole
can be locked to the stern pulpit?

I doubt it would do much good unless you
had a spade rudder that could point the other
way.

I'll see if I can find a Soling for the race.

I've done a number of races that way. Cat-rigged dinks are pretty
easy, and sometimes don't sacrifice speed when doing so.

I've also done a number of races without rudders. I'm guessing this
has gone out of vogue since the advent of windsurfers, which is a
similar competency, but more fun.

Sailing backwards without a rudder is something I never mastered ...
