Subject: Latest on Crewed LightShip

Hi Everyone;

Checking out the weather today for dbh'd LS, I can't imagine that Crewed LightShip will by any different. 15 to 20 WNW and that means fast fetch out and fast spinnaker reach back.

Way back when before there were a lot of boats to make up a fleet, e27s were meant to clean up on Olson 30's the Saint Ann in particular, SC 27's, Bloom County and Moore 24s in the ocean. Designed as a next generation MORA rocket ship resulting in MORA season wins. 1983 for sure because I was their on Light'n Up.

Crewed Light Ship is exactly what the e27 was deisgned for in terms of Gulf of the Farallons performance to the weather mark and surf / plane back.

Sign up with YRA for StFYC LightShip on 3/21. Event at StFYC following. This a great race for the quick up wind and fast down wind. And exactly what the boat was designed for.

Don't miss it and especially if you only race buoy . . . becuase you're missing out on exactly what the boat was designed for.

Mike
