Lots of photos can be found at the link, below.

If anyone can identify the type of boat labeled "A boat in the dinghy class" I'd appreciate it.

Also

If anyone can identify the type of boat labeled "A pretty boat, dockside" I'd appreciate it. It is canoe stern, cutter, about 32 feet, Not a Westsail 32. Looks very stout and nearly perfect for single handed blue water.

Nice shots--thanks! I'm pretty sure the dinghy is a 49er... haven't identified the dockside boat yet--looks a little like a Pacific Seacraft cutter, but the sheer stripe makes me wonder.

The dinghy was a mono hull, planing on and off the wind. Making about 15 knots. It had two outriggers which were flat like surfboards. The crew is standing up on the windward one.

"Pretty boat dockside" has chainplates bolted to the hull but the chainplate itself is inside (only the bolts are visible). Canoe stern with small cockpit (but bigger than Westsail 32).

Charlie took some more photos, perhaps he can post a few.

We raced a bare bones Catalina 30 in non-spin and did well, but we were DQ because we missed a mark on the leg to the finish line.

Jim,
The dinghy is a "49er" you can see the logo at the top of the main.
Here's the Vanguard link (then click 49er on the left menu) --> [url="http://www.teamvanguard.com"]Vanguard-49er[/url]

Great photos Charlie and I liked your website. Don't forget to add

http://www.indiscipline.org in your links section.

Dave Bristle - check out Charlie's photos, there are many more of that boat I liked. See if you can identify her.

Great pix - looks like a fine day!
What carrier is that in the background? How far away is it?

One of the shots shows 2 carriers berthed at Naval Station North Island, home of the 7th Fleet. We are Catalina 25 Fleet 7 in their honor.

I'm not sure the names of those 2 ships, we also have another carrier, the US Midway, a floating museum berthed by the cruise ship terminal and the Star of India (tallship).

Hey, guys. We all had a great time "mixing it up" with all those real race boats. Had we some really good racing sails on board we might have finished in first place (provided I'd not fallen asleep at the wheel and forgot about one last mark rounding

).
I'll keep working on Mike and Evelyn to upgrade their sail inventory for next year. And I will always, from now on, put up some type of clipboard on the cabin somewhere to draw the course we'll race.
Hey, Henk. You did really well doing the grinding. And your boat is still safe and sound in our yard. Hope your big ship cruise is going great. I'll start up your truck once a week to keep it lubed, too.
