Gerry, can you possibly let me know my login ID "again" and reset my password. I got it the first time while I was on vacation, then lost it before getting home.

Sage 15

There was a nice article in the latest SAIL magazine showing the Cat rig. Do not know if this is the boat Jerry was talking about in his SAC "Small Talk" column. Would love to sail one with a Flat Head. One can only wish at that price. I did not notice any spec for the draft in the article. Jerry I was wondering if any thought had been given to having a bulb on the end of the center board for additional righting moment. "We Can Not C ontrol the Wind But We Can Adjust Our Sails"

2017 WICR Windfinder forecast for Lake Pleasant (remember the key - 'forecast')
by GILASAILR＠aol.com 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

To the entrants at this years WICR: Please check out these and any of your favorite forecasts. https://www.windfinder.com/forecast/lake_pleasant_north check Lake Pleasant South too. http://www.sailflow.com/map#33.889,-112.28,10,1 Bear in mind conditions may rapidly change and this forecast is for six days from now. Bring something to keep yourself and crew dry and small headsails if you got 'em! - We have all seen these forecasts fizzle out so - ...could end up 12-15 and perfect! The YC RC will not start (probably postpone) the races until they are comfortable in their ability to run a "safe" race. Hey - this is what sailing is all about anyway right? If you are uncomfortable with the conditions - please do what you feel is right for your crew,boat and your self. The forecast front will probably blow through town on the prior evening and provide us with a clear beautiful day for sailing on Saturday!! That's my forecast and I'm sticking to it! (I will have a smock to keep the moisture off my shoulders) Please contact me if you have any questions (Dave S. is on the road) Gary O. _gilasailr(a)aol.com_ (mailto:gilasailr@aol.com)

Good design with the lower unit support arm to prevent bouncing loads on the clamp! GO In a message dated 2/11/2017 11:29:03 A.M. US Mountain Standard Time, scoobscobie(a)gmail.com writes: http://www.sagemarine.us/motor_mount.html

Traveling w/outboards

For those of you that do not have external brackets on your trailers, where do you stow the motor when travelling? On the cabin floor? Cockpit sole? In the vehicle? On the transom (heaven forbid!) Henry Sent from my Windows 10 phone

Drying out legs
by Wilson Frye 11 Feb '17

11 Feb '17

All, As a matter of course, sailing along the Intracoastal Gulf in the Monty 17 brings you to many fine beaches that are simply a wade away. Don’t need a dinghy for such places. Sometimes, however, the swing on the hook and the falling tide can lead to the stub keel grounding, and when you wake from your nap and shift your weight, the boat rolls to one side or the other. Then you wait for the tide to bring you afloat again so you can get underweigh. Has anyone added drying out legs to allow sitting on an even keel in such, or similar circumstances? I envision beefing up the hull in the area of attachment with a half inch thick garolite plate both inboard and outboard, and a couple of ash or oak two by twos with a swiveling square foot of epoxy-drenched three quarter inch ply on the foot of the legs…held upright each side by tag lines to the after cleats and to a purpose-built strong point on the sheer forward, with the hull similarly strengthened there. Where, longitudinally, do you think the best position for the legs would be…about even with the mainsheet traveler? Thanks for any experience and advice. Will

Henry, I tow with a truck - so the OB goes in the bed of the truck. I have carried OB on cabin sole with very heavy and large bathmat as a protective pad - worked fine. GO.
