This site has the photos for all of Cleveland Race week. Interspersed amongst all the pics are those of the 25's that were competing - Red Sled, Long Wind, At Last and Double D....

Here are the two keys to finding them -
1 - look for the red hull of Red Sled and then look for the others in the vicinity.
2 - If the boats you are looking at appear to be fast or big - you are in the wrong area.

There is a method to this guys madness of posting the pics, but without being there it wouldn't make a heck of a lot of sense to you.

go to events in the upper right, select CRW in July then the proof viewer and then look at the 4 days listed along the top of the viewer. (As you are browsing if you see any of these it is my boat. CRW629SJS-1324; CRW629SJS-1325; _DSF3016; _DSF0159; _DSF2821; _DSF2820; _DSF2832; _DSF2861; _DSF3082)


Also of note - the water level pics from Saturday very last page - you can see them raising the CAL 31 that sank on thursday.

Some rumors, mostly facts.

The rudder post broke - not sure why I never heard about that. They were taking on water when the coast guard showed up about ten minutes later. Our boat was on the second last leg of the race near EYC-S.....(course diagram from Thursday here https://www.memberstatements.com/Clubs/CSG-Edgewater/Uploaded/CalendarPics/Illustrations1_2.pdf) They were from the best I could tell about a mile or so north or EYC A. When we heard the call we couldn't determine where they were - flares and GPS positions came later. The crew was never in danger - the chase boat was on scene within 2 minutes of the hail to the race committee and probably would have been there sooner if they weren't closer to shore due to the head vs boom contest that occurred on another boat. USCG put in a couple of pumps (talking a lot of, many, much, multi gallons a minute) and started to tow the boat (possibly a mistake). They towed it about 2 miles when the post copletely went which brought in more water than the pumps could handle. That is when they lost it.

Here is the only rumor - they had 48 hours to bring her back up, plus oil and diesel discharge fines etc. etc. There were all sorts of salvage discussions going on at the club on Friday as to who really had rights etc. If there was anything funny going on in this whole thing, it was the idiots who unknowingly tried to argue with two maritime lawyers on the entire issue claiming they knew. That alone made for a good dinnertime theatre for me prior to Friday's racing.

I'm glad everyone, even the skipper who through the grapevine stepped out of his boat in waist deep water up into the USCG boat, was okay.

There are a few comments from people "in the know" on this thread at SA...you might have to weed through some of the BS....http://www.sailinganarchy.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=55230&st=200&start=200

The broken rudder stuff starts around post 280...though 1-279 are worth the laugh....
