Get READY FOR DUCK DODGE!!
The boat now has a new propeller and bottom paint...
Not very exciting, but this is a maxiprop, meaning that it is A. Really expensive, and may impress some people. It feathers itself when the shaft isn't turning, so it's not this dinnerplate of a brake when the boat is sailing. Fresh bottom paint simply means less scum. We (June and Little Pete) buffed the topside with rubbing and polishing compound. --June Whipple earns the right to be on the "A" team now.
Last Goosebumps
race-Sunday, Feb. 17th
The last Goosebumps race of the season will be on this date.
Not racing this weekend because the mainsail is being
repaired... it had some wear on the leading edge, and needed telltails
installed. Consult the schedule
page for the next Legacy events.
DUCK DODGE GOOSEBUMPS -
The second Goosebumps race finds that the boat goes a LOT better with a little bit of wind. Much better with a LOT of wind. The boat weighs TWELVE TONS, after all.
