[C38] Nationals

Fri Sep 11 22:25:44 EDT 2009

It seems a little late to be thinking of this, and I'll admit that this is 
a pretty tentative suggestion, but is it likely that there would be local 
Southern California C-38 owners who would lend their boats to strangers 
for the nationals (or who would enter if additional hands were available 
to crew)?

The biggest boat I've captained was my old Ericson 28+ (a C-38 is a future 
dream of mine), and I haven't been sailing for about ten years (its like 
riding a bicycle, non?), but (I haven't mentioned this to my better half, 
but with spousal approval to clear next week's calendar) I'd be willing to 
crew for a more experienced skipper.  I might also be able to scare up 
another couple of crew members.

Re: [C38] Nationals

I have to agree with David on this one...the minimum number for a fleet in 
any race that I've sailed in is three, and if we have three the corinthian 
side of "us" should move forward and hold the race(s). 

Whether its the size or age of our fleet, or the geographic dispersion and 
logistical dificulties associated with the C-38 group, we are going to 
continue to to have a difficult time assembling more than a few boats at 
any given place...sad, but true. And somehow I think, judging by the 
activity here and in the Mainsheet, our collective lack of demonstrated 
support for our beloved toys is more than a logistical issue (for the 
record: yes there are a dedicated group that faithully and frequently 
utilize the listserv...but if you do the math it seems like a very small 
percentage of the entire group). If the races are not held, then we all 
cave to apathy. However, if those with the ability to be there or to share 
your boats with others that might be willing to come (given a berth for 
the night and a pint of grog) will go forward and champion the spirit of 
the fleet, then perhaps, little by little, we can bring life back to the 
fleet and our boats can sail on for another generation. 

Of course, this is all easy for me to say; I'm not in a position to make 
the 3000 mile trip...but I need to live vicariously through those of you 
who can. Heck, I prepped all of April and May and launched on June 
14...and she's been out of the water for repairs since July 10. I can't 
tell you how much I would like to have the opportunity that so many of you 
have.
