Now that Doug mentions it, there was a previous incarnation of Colorado Sail & Yacht Club called No Coast Yacht Club that included both powerboaters and sailors. A rift developed because the powerboaters didn’t like their dues going to support sailboat racing activities, and things fell apart.

Hi Charlie, Interesting dilemma. The one point that really jumped out at me is that the One-Design club proposing to associate with BSC has (only) ~10 boats for their weekday races. That’s a small operation. It sounds like that OD club has more to gain from the BSC association than

I put in a Raymarine Seatalkng network a few years ago with Fred’s help and am very happy with the system. I added a Airmar DST800 depth/speed/temp tri-ducer last spring that I bought on eBay which plugged right into the network and worked perfectly. It even fit into the hole from the old

Hi Charlie,At my club, we own buildings, and docks. Most members are powerboaters(170 boats). We have a committee (1 guy) that handles the racing. We set aside a portion of the annual budget for the racing. Members get work party time for helping out with the race committee boat. We also work

Do the raymarine i70 package and do it right. You will love the display if you can mount everything in a pod on the coach house over your companion way entrance easily in view of all in the cockpit. You and crew will learn to sail to apparent wind angle and with an added display you may be able to

Mark — I would NOT consider the i40 system for wind; your only choice for a wind transducer is one suitable only for power boats. The i70 is a nice system; and yes, you do get water temp with it, as the transducer is a single depth/speed/temp transducer. And you get a much better wind

I don’t think so. Besides if you use an HCL product you need to have a garden hose available with good water supply. The acid will do the trick usually in under 10 minutes and then you should hose the hull down. Start at the bow apply the acid solution to stern one side at a time and the wash down
