Does anyone know the Portsmouth yardstick handicap numbers for an M-17.? I looked it up on the web but no info on how to do it.? Just the formulas with very little explanation. We had a great time racing. My wife says she feels twenty again. We got better and better as the weekend went along and the last race we were respectable.? Had a little adventure Sunday morning as the starboard outer shroud pin came out as we were setting the jib.? Wife brought us into the wind , I dropped all the sails she got the outboard down and started.? And as luck would have it I found the pin against the toe rail.? I got a new safety ring and repined the shroud and we were "just a bit" late starting the first race.? The last race of the weekend we were in great shape and misjudged the last buoy and touched it so had to make a penalty 360 and finished well back.? Everyone said we were doing great for our first race with so little previous sailing experience.? So put the boat on the trailer had a burger and beer at the Pub and home tired with big smiles all around. At your service Larry Pegg Pilgrim M-17 #55 208 249 0538
