Trans Superior

I received the new scratch list from Dale today. I'm posting both the message and the new list. This time Endeavor is on the list and in our class. I bring your attention to these guys as they were the folks hulled a few weeks ago by the careless trailer power boater. They have a higher phrf so have a bit of a time advantage over us. We should be crossing the finish line before these guys if we sail a good game.

I thought I would create a reference book which should contain most everything related to sailing and racing Whimsea. One of the things I'm going to include is Whimsea's sailing instructions. On our training sail it was great to see everyone working together and looking to get done what should be done. We had a lot of folks and were able to get a lot accomplished. However, we need to make sure when we are contemplating a maneuver the watch captain or skipper walk through how it will be executed, assign people specific duties and the cues involved marking the begining of the maneuver. Since we all have our own boats and own way of doing things, we'll need to make sure we're able to meld with each other sail Whimsea efficiently.

Everyone reacted excellently to the situation that occurred on the return trip and we developed a great process for taking in the whisker boom. I think the incident helped illustrate the need for a bit of patience in walking through the process to make sure everyone is working towards the same goal.

Let me know if you have any additions, subtractions or comments.
