Bruce, That is such a shame to hear. Are you sure you are not offering up my boat? I have the very same boat, in the very same marina. Which slip are you? Perhaps I will have to be like Chris. I know that he really enjoys saying to other the other listees, "my *other *boat" Adam On Wed, Oct 5, 2011 at 1:44 PM, Chris Barszcz <we… [at] yahoo.com>wrote: > ** > > > Hi Bruce, > > I'm sorry to hear of your divorce issues.

No, not flying from MY to LA every week, but (better still, in my view) enjoying boats on both the Lake Michigan and Lake Huron sides. Life is good. And the other boat, while old and slow, is pretty and well-loved. Chris Campbell

I am on F Dock, slip 227. I haven't been sailing in more than two years now. I am sure she can use a wash. About six months ago, I stopped the monthly bottom dive, too.

Gosh, Bruce! Sad to hear this turn of events. Me first matie and I are scratching out heads wondering how we can help you out. Jerry PS. We had two woop-ass races on Sunday (reminded me of the Marx Bros. "A day at the Races", where one thing after another went wrong yet we kept on surging along and catching up to the fleet) and on Tuesday evening, which was in winds gusting up to 20 MPH. Succeeding in snapping the pin out of my whiskey pole as we daringly went wing and wing on a roller coaster ride surfing down waves. Am wondering if I can stick a piece of hardwood dowel in there to replace it, as those fittings cost an arm and a leg, even tho is was one of them cheapie 1" Harken sturdy carbon reinforced laminated chicken fat (plastic) ones. They make jetliners out of that stuff, don't they?

Long time lurker here. I tired of having my postings disappear so have been quiet for a long time. You have/had my cal 34 manual on your website. Sorry to hear of your pending divorce. Been there and it is not fun. I still have my 34 but my brother has been looking for a boat. He lives on Whidbey Island and is now retired. The boat would be moved there whenever possible. I understand you have not seen her but what is the general condition? Sailable? What are the slip fees? I could assume the fees immediately. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for all who responded. There are several parties interested in San Diego, one in SF, another in Arizona, and others who have written. I always considered my boat sailable and sailed her every time I went to San Diego. The last time I went for a quick visit I found a leak in the outboard gas line that kept me from going out. I went to the marina store and bought a new line and spent some time working on it. The first line I eyeballed and bought the wrong size. Bought a second line, again, just eyeballing. This one fit the motor but would not pass through the hole in the transom into the fuel storage compartment. Then the sun went down, so I loaded up and returned to Phoenix. I went back last October for a law school reunion with a couple of landlubbing lawyers, who just wanted to drink beer on deck. So she has not actually sailed in some time, but she is certainly sailable. She is obviously not up to some of the standards of the Cal 40 types, and the Jensen Marine ex-employees. But I loved her all the same. My web site isn't going anywhere. I bought a new main sail at Vinney's, or whatever the place is named in LA. The sail was not made for a Cal. It needs to have the hanks sewn on to match my mast. There are several sails on board, and I have the main sail mentioned upstairs. I also have the cabin table here, which I was going to redo in mahogany. Never got there. We sailed her to San Diego from Oceanside with no mechanical problems or sail problems. There are two large genoas, one has a tear in it. I dreamed once of all new sails, but never happened. Storm jib, two mains, etc., and a 9.9 Nissan two stroke. Three removeable gas tanks onboard. Radio, compass, refrigerator, microwave. Needs a head tank. I had plans to copy Mariposa's set up. There is a stereo, two wet suits, and other personal items onboard that I would still like to keep. I will keep the group posted later today of developments. Someone should be checking her out now and calling me soon.

Dear Bruce I just wanted to say what a generous offer you have presented to this group. I purchased my first sailboat, a Cal 25, out of Michigan for very little $ through angel boat on eBay. The boat had been out for a couple of years and the former owner told me he just wanted to see the vessel go to a good home with someone who would use and appreciate her. Had it not been for the low initial investment I would have never been able to afford her. I spent a lot of time fixing her up and even had a few setbacks. Fortunately there is this blog and the people here helped me and eventually supplied me with a replacement for a lost mainsail which I otherwise could not afford. The best way I know to salute such generosity is to use my new (old) sailboat with my wife, six year old, friends and family as much as possible. My boat will be the last out this season and the first in next spring. I hope you find success as you move through this chapter in your life and find the right person to care for and love your vessel as much as you once did.

I just called the marina office and they said the monthly slip rental is $340.00. Here is the marina web site. Turn down your speakers! http://www.cvmarina.com/ The guy who was going to call this morning has not called. Or if he did, I missed him. I am still in the federal courthouse in Phoenix in between hearings. I expect others later this evening once I leave here. Photos of the boat on my web site: http://www.stirlinglaw.com/cal28/cal28photos/ Still not a done deal, so if interested, keep calling and/or sending emails. I have a few now to contact again. The guy dove the boat for $40 per month. If I lived there, I would have done it myself for fun. Boat interior few years ago. Pretty much same, unless something happened while I have been in AZ. http://www.stirlinglaw.com/cal28/cal28interior/inside.htm Sorry for the timing. I noticed another member selling a Cal 28. His is probably in better shape than mine. Remember, my photos are a couple of years old, if not older.

I inquired about the boat for my brother. He is retired from civil service but says he cannot afford a free boat: State taxes (you have to pay what the state thinks it is worth) transportation then slip fees. f it were larger I would be tempted to keep it there for a condo. But the offer is appreciated anyway. Thanks, Walter MacArthur On 10/06/2011 08:04 AM, Bruce Stirling wrote: Thanks for all who responded.

All, Magic raced the Columbus Day Regatta on Biscayne Bay in Miami last weekend. Saturday's weather was brutal with true winds to 40 kts. Two boats were struck by lightning. Lots of sails damaged or destroyed along with other hardware. No injuries from what I know. For a while, we sailed in survival mode under main only wind and rain so hard that the drops stung my face. Sunday was gorgeous... a Chamber of Commerce type of day, although we ended up with a small tear in our 155.

Funny you should say, Michael. For the Good Old Boat Regatta in Annapolis on that Saturday here the reading from Thomas Point Lighthouse (near our race course) at 1PM. Wind Speed (WSPD): 0 kts Wind Gust (GST): 1 kts Oh, well. A great day to be outside, but not good for sailing or flying kites. We both could have used the average of the conditions.

Great pictures on Flickr. You all violated my lightning safety rule which is stay in the slip when there is lightning but I guess you guys have so much of it you need more sophisticated ways of dealing with it. I have two questions: 1) What happened to the boats that were hit by lightning? 2) Why were so many boats flying a red flag? Is that a protest flag ?

Allen, Both boats lost their electronics. Unconfirmed, but I think a third boat also lost their wind indicator at the masthead from being too close to the lightning strike. The red Columbus Day Regatta flags were flown per the sailing instructions to identify racers from other non-racing sailboats on the water during the race. --Michael-- From: Allen Edwards <al… [at] gmail.com> To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2011 11:49 AM Subject: Re: [Cal_Boats] Columbus Day Regatta Great pictures on Flickr.
