Key Largo, FL & Put-in-Bay, OH... | First three boats, in order, are:
Tybee
Velocity
Marley's Yellow (Lohmayer)
Seacats web site said Marley's White, which is incorrect, except that they also said Lohmayer, which is right.
All three boats finished within a span of about 3 minutes. No other boats in sight. | | | Re: Tybee 500 -- Official thread for all input

South Carolina | don't think so, but during the landing, they ran over the finish line flag (and nearly the guy holding it) and upon the ground crew trying to take them back out to re-round, the crew pulled on the spin pole and snapped it in half too. The F18 crew is saying they're out at this point; spinnaker has major damage (which is why they came in without a chute), short one daggerboard (no spare), and now a broken spinnaker pole. Hard to blame them.

Framingham, MA | Team Moose-Burd did not have any hull damage. The board delaminated after rounding the cape. They had a tough day as they also tore the spin where the taped seam let go. Then as they finished they took out the flag at the finish line, and had to bring the boat back out to re-cross the line correctly, but fell and broke the spin pole. We are all trying to help them have the option to continue the race with the nessisary parts, but as we can all imagine it has been a tough day for them. We will see the final verdict in the morning. Today was a tough day with lots of parts breaking on many boats. Two long days coming up.... both look to be down wind days in strong breezes.

Sebring, Florida. | Yeah, the Orlando Wx is saying south east at 15-20 tomorrow, maybe more of the same on Friday...
What ever happened to the concept of having spare parts?

Sebring, Florida. | Too bad they have the only Tiger in the race, otherwise the other Inter 20's could loan them parts. Still, isn't there a Hobie Dealer not too far away, in Melborne or Daytona?

Key Largo, FL and Put-in-Bay, ... | This is Moose-Burd's second bow sprit broken. They broke one earlier during a pitchpole. Apparently, they are retiring and were no shows at the skippers meeting at 9AM Tomorrow the start may be at 9am.., we will be notified of this tonight. At the skippers meeting Larry Ferber of Cat in a Hat said if anyone is having problems to turn their radios to channel 16. Larry said, "Since I am usually near the back of the pack, I may be able to be of help to anyone that needs it." Sort of like the Ski Patrol cleaning the mountain at the end of the day. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Rick | | | Re: Tybee 500 -- Official thread for all input
