Wishing you were here. We had a great time comparing boats and swapping stories. Once the two boats were side by side the diferance in the rigs became very clear. We hope to plan several more trips to Dockton and hope next time more of you will be able to join us. Doug, Teresa and there to young girls we lots of fun to meet. We shared some good time and generaly enjoyed ourselfs.<img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b2d823b3127cce9e4e9aa7190e0000001410" border=0><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b2d823b3127cce9e4e988f98170000001410" border=0><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b2d823b3127cce9e4e997259420000001410" border=0><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b2d823b3127cce9e4e9aab19020000001410" border=0>

Doug,
Thanks for sharing the photos. That's a motley crew you have there <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> !
Yes, sharing good times and enjoying ourselves - my wife reminded me of that after I spent all weekend on my back under OJ. Just two more coats of epoxy I explained . . . good thing the new instruments are being delivered to the office <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> !

The pictures were taken with a Cannon Powershot 50. Its a fairly small pocket size digital camera. I have had it for about 3 years.

Windlass pulling away- Note the taller rig in Douglas' pictures at the dock. Windlass had no problem passing Noeta, and I want to say it was all due to the tall rig- not the crew!

Hey Douglas, could you email some of the pics of Noeta directly so I can play around with them?

Thanks

Doug I was thinking about the comment you made about I had no problem pulling away from NOETA. Several factors explain why. The biggest being a new bottom job. When we had Wind Lass hauled last fall we felt she was a bor slow. When the keel came out of the water we could see why. The marine growth on the bottom of the keel was considerable. Not visable from the dock the bottom had appeared clean. Once that extra drag was removed it made a BIG differance. Secondly you realy need that windex or vane. It will let you know exactly the right angle for best performance. I have had six years to play with my sails to see what works. Perhaps we should do some one on one or sail together on one boat and exchange ideas.
