2018 WrinkleBoat Ran-Tan & WICR gilasailr 9 Jan 2018, 1:45 PM | Views: 0 Fellow Sailors, Please find link to the above noted regatta at Lake Pleasant Arizona. http://www.arizonayachtclub.org/racing Go to the section marked 'Birthday Regatta/Leukemia Cup' for Notice of Race, Sailing Instructions and Course Maps. This is the event that spawned the WICR - named by a past competitor and winning solo skipper, for the "WrinkleBoat Intergalactic Championship Regatta" (we could not use the name Nat'l/World/ or U.S. championships due to conflict with USSailing and ISAF) We sail 3 +/- course races on Saturday, a 'round the islands' race on Sunday and have dinners and general Ran-Tan activities Frida/Sat/Sunday evenings. If anyone is interested in Cruising at the Lake - I will be happy to show you around on either Friday or Monday - there are some nice and interesting locations - Very little traffic at the Lake in February - some beautiful scenery and wildlife is out and about. Info has been a bit slow in coming around but the AzYC is working hard to get the news out for this event. Those of you that have been to the WICR are invited again as are ALL WrinkleBoat sailors! 2+ days of sail racing and or cruising with like minded sailors and a broad spectrum of boats. Sages, Montgomerys and this year a 'somewhat' modified P-14 of fame, notoriety and great interest, & 'PaintBoy' the wonder 17, are slated to sail! I know this is short notice but - if the snow and cold have got you jonesing for some sailing - check it out. Our Fearless Leader, the multi-talented designer/builder/sailor - Mr. Jerry Montgomery will be our Guest of Honor along with personalities of 'different' skills - maybe a sailmaker or two, a 'painter' and an aerodynamicist have expressed intentions of sailing this weekend. (we could use a Doctor for sure!) Arizona in the winter is a very special place - high and low elevations are in their prime at this time of the year - make a trip of it! Great boats - Better people! We can't gaurantee the weather but - no snow or other natural disasters are likely to interfere with the Ran-Tan in this part of the country! If you have any questions email me at gilasailr at aol.com or call 602 703-SAIL Thanks for your time - Hope to see many new sailors and ALL the 'Old' ones there! GO M-17T 'Tiny Purple Fishes' PS - I'll be crewing this year and some 'out-of-towners' will be sailing sail #354. a couple years ago in light air...sometimes it's breezy .....sometimes its lazy.
I was hoping to bring Monita down again this year but life is getting in the way. I’ll try for next year! Henry M17 #310 Monita On Tue, Jan 9, 2018 at 3:52 PM Gary Oberbeck via montgomery_boats < montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:

Gary, Do you know if anyone needs a crew--or, in my case, live movable ballast--for their boat? We will be returning from a family Mexico vacation on Feb 14 so logistics make it impossible for me to bring Monita down from Minneapolis. I am toying with the idea of cashing in some miles/points and flying down for regatta. This would only work for me if I could be assured of a crew position for Saturday and Sunday. I understand that every boat is probably already spoken for but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask. I haven't even run this by my wife yet so it might not work for me either. 🤔 Henry Monita On Jan 9, 2018 3:52 PM, "Gary Oberbeck via montgomery_boats" < montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:
