Rochester....do you own both a C25 and a 250? Or, is something goofy going on with the web site?

Maybe he has the best of both worlds(C250 and C25), but the worst of luck.

From the C250 Forum on 1/06/03,

"Well I've become victim of centerboard "Snapola" AGAIN!! (figures now that my boat is a couple of weeks out of warranty) I called Catalina and they said they will send me a new cable...this is twice now in less than 7 months!" - Rochester, Tropical Sleigh WB619

From the C25 Forum on 1/16/03,

"The keel cable snapped on my 1984 (hull #4534) Catalina 25 while tied up at the dock. The keel plummeted down and the aft end of the keel broke through the after side of the fiberglass housing in the cabin. Water poured through the break (10" long x 1/4" wide) in the housing and I almost lost the boat before discovering the mishap..." - Rochester

"Or perhaps she?" <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>- Ray

Well, I assumed he was a he and not a she, because the name in his profile is Brad Brandon. Now, this name could possibly be an alias, like people in those chat rooms use.

I would never trust chat room aliases because just when you are thinking that you are chatting with Cyndi, a young nubile 20 year old from New York <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>, you come to find out you are talking to Earl, a 55 year old plumber from Des Moines! <img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>

It just occurred to me that what has happened might be related to the password for the Telltale... if so, another good reason to lay to rest that long standing millstone.

While I use an alias on places like Yahoo... its never seemed necessary on this site.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Hi Ray I originally posted the bow roller question under the name rochester aka brad....don't know why I never was given another option when I joined the assoc. anyway I'm Tropical Sleigh WB619, I hail out of Sarasota FL, and my email is Sailgal@comcast.net If you can send me the bow roller info I'd really appreciate it. Take care <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>
This is a post from Rochester in the c250 bow roler discussion. (BTW Arlyn you did finally get the pictures about the roller I sent you didn't you?) I was also confused about the login name. So there are definitely aliases out there, for whatever reasons. I can remember quite a few others on this forum. For just one example I remember the person who at the conception of this forum who was so opposed to this format that he/she started a number of ugly discussions on this forum and our old one at the trailor sailor site? Despite any alias names Mark M. always knows their isp address.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

HI Fellas, I sign on under Rochester because when I paid my dues that is what I was told to use along with an assigned password. I always sign my postings with my boat name and hull number so there won't be any confusion. Oh and for the record I am a "she". I read the forum daily and it appears that rochester is used by more than a handfull of folks. Most sign off with their boat and hull number.
I love my WB250 and enjoy this site!! Happy Sailing!

Hi Suzie

As Arlyn stated,Rochester is the name givin to everybody on the forum to access the Telltale Newsletter.

I think you can change your user name by clicking on profile(top right of page) and make any changes to your password & user name.

"...I sign on under "Rochester" because when I paid my dues that is what I was told to use along with an assigned password."

"Rochester" is a password for something else. You may want to just create a new user and use a name that is more revelant to you and one that is not having problems because someone else is using it also.
If you click on the name "rochester" in you post, you will see that it is registered to Brad Brandon of Snellville, GA.

Additionally, you say that you sign off with your boat name. Are you typing it in everytime or is it set in your "user profile"?

Welcome Sailgal <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

One of the advantages of a being a "new" newbie is that we ge to welcome you again. And, I suspect that ypou were never welcomed because of the conflicted name game.
