My "new" S/B
Here she is. She did me proud at the lake today as well with a overall third place finish out of six skippers. Not bad for first time on the water. Took a little time to get used to the bang/bang winch , but it was second nature by day's end.
The boat looks a little cleaner in the pics than in person. Lots of chips, scratches, dings under the waterline, so I'm going to sand her down and repaint before taking her out again. Really happy with this purchase! Clay |

5 off-season (winter) SBOD dates in GG ParkHere are 5 unsanctioned "pick-up/beer-can" winter sailing dates (SBOD-OSSS) for Bay Area SBs. Lets hope a couple of SBs will turnout braving the winter weather in GG Park, San Francisco. These off-season SBOD sessions are not official club regattas and there is NO registration, fee, food or prizes. This is just a heads up about when a couple of SBs will be on the lake during the off-season. Everyone is invited; if only two (2) SBs show up, its a good thing. Of course, more are better. Onward< SBOD OFF-SEASON SAILING SCHEDULE: 5 SBs so far and looking for 6+ SAT. OCT 27 1-3 (6 races-more depending on number of boats) first race 1pm SAT. NOV 10 1-3 (overlaps with the swap meet) SAT. DEC 8 1-3 (membership meeting/Christmas party & SB beer-can race) SAT JAN 12 1-3 SAT FEB 9 1-3 MARCH: (SFMYC SANCTIONED SBOD REGATTAS BEGIN) OBJECTIVE Create SBOD (winter) "beer-can" sailing days to work on RRS and rigging for the 2013 AMYA-SFMYC SBOD NATIONALS. RSVP-no regrets necessary Jerry Turney, enthusiast without portfolio |

Took my boat out for short tuning session. It sure sails well. Need to figure out optimum position for the swivel on the jib boom. Earlier post said 3.5 to four inches back from the end of the jib boom, thinking maybe try that from where the headstay is on the boom to get the jib boom to swivel out better down wind. Also going to add bungee to the jib topping lift to keep it tensioned. I did add a longer arm to the servo that tensions the backstay, the jury is still out on how much tension to set on the backstay at loose. Will work all of the this out in the next month or two. Ryan
