CD-33 PHRF and Captain MacDonald...

[Warren Kaplan]

Listen to all this sabre rattling! Capt Stump, Capt Heintz and now Capt Thorpe! Broadsides is it? I'm considering entering this race but I don't know how Sine Qua Non will sail with armor plate!

Sounds like we Mainer's may have to recommission some of our coastal fortifications in anticipation of this onslaught of scourge from the south. Don't expend all of your energy in battles on the high seas - you'll still have to deal with Capt. Bobby (with or without boots) upon arrival.

Capt. Bobby, having spent hours studying the configuration and armaments of Journey's End (shown here at Northeast Harbor during the 2001 NE Fleet Maine Cruise), is prepared to exploit her weaknesses.

Captains,

Yes, the gauntlet has been thrown and it's ring is for thee. Mark thy calanders for August next. I and my faithful companion Merrie will sail Journey's End to her second consecutive Maine victory. So fire your broadsides be they starboard or larboard, Journey's End will be tracking downeast...let the pursuit begin.

Captain's M&M - The True #1's

Well,

It seems as though the gauntlet has been thrown!!!!!!!

Dave, I think Mike's got a point here.

I suggest we all start working on our schedules for next year, we will have to make time to accommodate Captain Thorpe's challenge.

Mike, you'll have to start working on the "offshore" ratings. Are we going to have a solo division?

I hear Capt Kaplan is really going the more modern route and installing shields (and something about quantum torpedos). Understand shields can improve the laminar flow of water over the hull. Guess he is getting ready for anything from some crazed CD Captains to Bird of Prey's.

To all Captains Commandin',

Uh, too much grog over the weekend last...the math should have been a CD-33 PHRF of 210 minus a CD-30C PHRF of 186 = 24! Does THAT mean that he gives me 24 seconds per mile? Which, if that is the case, in the instant of the race to the Island of Adrian Block of approximately 18 miles would have come out to 7.2 minutes, in which case, Hanalei is STILL victorius as she crossed the line a full 15 (FIFTEEN ! !) minutes before any other vessel in the fleet!!!!

Arg, Matys', have at it! ! !

Capt. Dave,

You 'co-mangling' info from last years results and next years ratings. (Not that I have a much better handle on it.)

As I understand it (assuming next year's race is an 18 NM course);
210 (CD30C) - 186 (CD33 Sloop) = 24 seconds
24 seconds/mile times 18 miles = 7.2 minutes

So that means I depart 7 min. 12 seconds after you. AND that means I'll cross the finish line (again assuming all halyards remain fully operational) approx. 7 minutes ahead of you )

think I'll call Mike about those halyards now.

Fair Winds,
Leo

I wouldn't worry too much. They're bad shots, especially when shooting from behind.

Since I read the invitation in the subject bar, I may as well enter the fray. Mokita is in her bunk in Mystic and may just stay in the area for next summer to rewrite CD history once and for all before disappearing into waters of the hinterland up north. 'Tis a mighty draw to burst the bubbles of ye southern blokes!

Aye, someone drive the nail thru the dubloon to the mast
And a fair race she'll make.
We'll see who can make 'er run fast
When thar's soft gold at stake.

So fix your PHRFS and scrub those planks.
While the cold north wind she blows.
'Cause when at first ye sees the snakes
Look for Mokita in front of ye nose!

You're soon to see a cloud of white
Abaft of Mokita's wake.
Manys the reason for a sailor's might
For plying the lakes called GREAT.

A poet and a Cape Dory Sailor! The best of all worlds. Seems our Great Lakes Captain has revealed something of himself that heretofore remained a deep secret! Officers of the CDSOA.. I have a proposal. Along with our places of honor...Commodore, Vice Commodore, Rear Commodore, Treasurer and Secretary, let us create a new office. That of Poet Laureate of the CDSOA. Ed Haley. BRAVO!

To our Northern Brother Ed Healey
New Captain of Mokita.
Who last year rode so freely,
Will have to say “see ya”

It will be Macht Nichts
blazing by in glory.
Who all aboard agree will beat the fleet
And will make you so sorry.

To all aboard Hanalei,
Proud Captain and mate.
This year you may have to turn to the Lee,
And find yourself a new racing date.

Captain Heintz,

I never cease to be amazed at the hidden strengths and talents of Cape Dory captains. A flagon of our finest ale to both you and Captain Healey. Perhaps the CDSOA would be interested in publishing, along with The Masthead, one volume a year entitled, "The Poetry of Cape Dory Captains". It is winter after all and many of our boats are out of reach, soon to be in deep hibernation, under tarp or shrink wrap. Such melancholy should be committed to paper to go along with the verse of the warlords we have just read.
