[C38] Annapolis C38 Fleet?

Fri Jun 10 15:54:56 EDT 2011

Hey Dan 
 Jazz can be out on the water sat and Sunday. I planned to take friend out to the 3rd of July fireworks up the Severn river if anyone else would like to raft up that evening. 
As for the Gov cup we have talked about doing that race as well just not confirmed yet. Good old boat is on the list as well. I just need to check the dates of both with my work schedule. 

I will keep you posted. Look forward to meeting up. 
Cheers
Brett

Three of us sailed in the Good Old boat regatta 2 years ago as a class, its was fun for most of us..well except, for a certain unnamed overburdened skipper whose spinnaker went up..upside down (Yes, we have a photo). (Question: how do you trim an upside down spinnaker?) If there is some interest in racing we could get together to practice with the spinnaker for those who need a refresher, including me. The Pearl (Pam Morris) was gracious enough 2 years ago to teach my crew some spinnaker basics which was helpful and only cost a case of beer. In any event, it would be fun to get a fleet together even if just to have a good time. C38s on the Bay, speak up where ever you are.

I spent the last 3 years as a live-aboard and just recently purchased a hous, I also have a J22 that I plan on racing up and down the east coast next year. So unfortunately I'm trying to free up some money. I really don't want to sell Jazz  but I can't justify 2 boats  and a house.

One shoal off the South River has shifted dramatically, allowing us to rename it according to whoever is at the helm when we go aground. The last time, my friend Colin was driving, we were double reefed on a beam reach with 30 K true wind at full hull speed, I say " Are we ok on depth." Yes!" in return..and then the chutes deployed for rentry. I of course ranted and raved as we tried motoring, but finally we hoisted more sail to heel the boat, and off we went. I have a cool video just before we parted the mud if anyone is interested. In general, the deep keel is always in the back of our mind in the shallower parts of the bay, but its great with 20K head winds, with a full moon overhead, as we comfortably beat our way home. Usually at this time, we are the only boat on the bay, well, except for Rob Cornelson in his Cat38.

That said, there's only so many places to sail for day and weekend trips and you quickly learn where to go and where not to go (the other sailing I do is offshore racing throughout the Gulf of Maine, so plenty of water there, but also many different ports). For my two cents about the keel, I wouldn't go any other way than the deep draft. I prefer the performance and maneuverability of the fin over the shoal version (haven't sailed a C-38 shoal, but have done others).
