My backup foredeck now has to attend a memorial service, so I'm looking for someone to help on the pointy end of the boat. Rhapsody is at the Navy Marina in Newport, RI. Dock time is 10am Saturday. After the race, there is a BBQ / Party a New York YC. Details are at these links: New York YC Race Organizers Page RI Leukemia Cup Website Anyone able to help me or point a foredeck person to me for this event?

He did well... resulted in 2nd place overall in class and 1st J/30 to finish!

One question, did you try your new tactic of dropping the main halyard at the windward mark? Does that aid the helmsman in 'shooting' the mark or is it just used to set a pick? See you in July, John

Falcon managed to get their spin halyard run up the mast a little early resulting in no spin set for a few hundred yards on the downwind leg.....
