News Flash!!!! Richard G. sails from Los Angeles to Catalina Island on the smallest Catalina ever made. Just kidding, this is Richard on his dink sailing around the moorings at Two Harbors. He couldn't tell me what the make was but it sure is cute and weighs a ton. <img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b2d908b3127cce9f6abb1d38220000001410" border=0>

When you tall rig guys are feeling sorry for yourselves because of your low booms, take a look at Richard!

I'd guess he picks it up and drops it on the other side. But I'd certainly avoid a jibe! <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

"he picks it up and drops it on the other side"

Exactly -- but I release the main first.

"But I'd certainly avoid a jibe!"

Yes -- but as the boom is quite low, it means my head is generally safe (just some minor bruising around the mid-section).

What I really need is better vision. The sail completely blocks my view on one side! I'm thinking of getting a "window" put in.

I'm not sure, but I think the sail rig is oversized for the boat (the end of the boom is way past the transom). Makes it good in light air, though.

It's a very fun dinghy -- whether sailing, rowing or motoring (which I'm not doing much since my 1.6 hp Eska "took a crap" earlier this summer).

And for the record -- I am not cute and do not weigh a ton!

Woah--what's that? He's sailing with a fender out? Richard, Richard...

I don't think that's a sailing faux pas ... he's preparing to raft up with some other dinghies and party! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

This is a photo of the dingy dock on Sunday morning at Two Harbors. Dingys are only 2 deep around the dock. The evening before they were easily 5 deep with everybody coming ashore for the big BBQ dinner and all the entertainment. You would just tie up to anything available and climb over the dingys until you found the dock to walk on. With the majority of tenders being inflatables there wasn't a need for fenders.

Okay, that did it!!<img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle> Ed and Richard: I see you did the Rendevous, July 13, 14. We've done this 3 times in the past; had family reunion things to do on the same weekend this year. Seeing your pics, Ed, convinced me that my wife and I will plan to go next summer. Would be great to hook up with lots of C25s going over with some added cruising maybe? Any chance you two will go again next year?

Brooke,

In something that size you just adjust your course to put the main into the path of the sun.

Hope Ed and family can make it back also.
