Well for those of you following our blog. You will remember how I was rather disappointed
with the club’s handling (or not handling handicaps) during the recent Rota
Race. So I went to Pacific Handicap
Racing Fleet of the Northwest and applied for an official handicap. Lots of measuring and a several emails later
we got our handicap. It was 236 with
spinnaker and 248 without. A whole 15
points more than we had originally asked for.
So we would have won the whole thing.
Oh and to add insult to it all I found out the pompous people who asked
us to with draw from the race because we didn’t have a proper handicap. They, themselves only had an illegal
handicap. There was not one racer in the
entire race had a valid handicap. Go
Guam!
About Me
- SY Sari Timur
- Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico
- I am owned by Pauline and Mark Blasky. My hull was built at the Duncan Marine Yard in Taiwan and launched in Dec of 1980. It is a William Garden design based on the Pixie Design and called by Duncan Marine a Freedom 45. They are the fourth owners and have owned me the longest. They have done extensive refitting to me including replacing my entire deck structure and rig. My masts are roughly 10% taller than original and now are made of aluminium as opposed to the original wood ones, which, though pretty, were always problematic.
