Lee and Sam,

I understand that you need to explain "The Madness".  An old friend of y'all has told me to watch out for the onset of "The Madness".

Rum drinks on the first downwind leg have proved to be fast in the past, the problem is on the second we end up gybing out early on layline for the liquor store!!  Justin, I am pretty sure the Madness happened Sat night at the Sand bar!  Great time thanks all,  see you in Charleston.

Looks like another fantastic day of sailing in Miami.

Have a question about your rigging cause I'm helping to setup #117 in preparation for Charleston next month.  Are we now allowed to have tapered sheets?  And is this mainsheet setup class legal?  It looks simple and clean and appears to have enough purchase.  This would be much simpler than rigging up a new split-tail mainsheet.

Who do you know that knows about the Madness?????? Small world. There was some madness Saturday night! Mad Dog and the Bull were loose!

Yes, fear the Madness!

Tom - The Last Call boys seemed to have had a problem finding the class rules - it's been straightend out.  We had a good discussion on Friday night at the tent with rum in hand.  On Saturday, the tapered sheets were gone, they changed their mainsheet set up (Sam said he liked how the mid bridle makes it easier to pull yourself across and up in tacks), and are registering their sails.  No worries here.

Tom - Did you guy #117 from Ron or are you crewing for him?

I'm crewing on Ron's boat this year again for local stuff and maybe a few out of town events.  Our third for Charleston is one of the new owners of #116.  He is looking forward to seeing what a Viper event is really all about before he bring his boat out to play.

Can't wait to get to Charleston.  Haven't been sailing since December so am ithching to get back on the water.  Although, we may be abel to sail here before heading south.  We are in the midst of a heat wave...not sure if that's an accurate description, but when we are seeing highs of 16 degC when the normal highs are +2 degC, it seems appropriate.

That's great Tom.  I look forward to meeting you and the guys from 116.  I spent a couple of summers (2008-2009) up in Ottawa sailing out of Nepean so we probably have already met.

I'd really like to get Ron and the guys from 116 to come down and race the Bayview One Design and Sarnia One Design Regatta.  We've got 7-8 boats committed for both events and would really like to hit that magic number of 10 boats registered to start attracting attention from the east coast guys.  I'll be talking to them about at CRW!

Last Call went street legal and changed sheets for Miami.
AFAIK, Tapered sheets are still not allowed.
After sailing? Not so legal.....Last Call seem more comfortable in an "off road" enviroment.
