roguewave Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share #14 Posted May 27, 2008 Ben: Great shot. I have been sailing Etchells since I bought my first one in 1992. Robert Robert, do you ever compete in the Mid-Winters on Biscayne Bay? Our club, Coral Reef YC is the usual host of this event. If you do, let me know. Fun boats. A number of our older skippers have taken to wearing helmets. Quite a sight! I've begun racing Sonars in Long Island Sound. We have a huge fleet and I like this boat very much. A good sized kite and the the loads are very managable for folks in their late 50's & early 60's (me & my crew's age). Down wind, I usually run the spinnaker and can hold the sheet & guy in each hand with no purchase. Very exciting sailing & super competitive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsteve Posted May 27, 2008 Share #15 Posted May 27, 2008 Ben: I never made it to the mid-winter, but back in the 1990's I loaned my boat to a local skipper who raced it at the Biscayne Bay mid winters. I think it was called the Jaguar mid winters back then. The furthest south I have been with it is North Carolina, and the furthest west, Chicago. In 1997 I raced it at the North Americans in Toronto and finished second, behind Dave Curtis. Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you campaigning her in Toronto ? I have owned 4 C&C's and love the racing circuit on the Great Lakes. Too bad they went broke and the tradename was bought up. I have a friend that races a C&C 115 or 110, I'm not sure. He loves it, but I think it's ugly and uncomfortable to sail. WOW, a 2nd in the NA's. That's awesomely cool!
