RE: [Cal_Boats]QM Race feeder to Trans Pac, was:The Cal 40 Belle Aurore (Rudder)

Cap'n dEmo, how did the new rudder affect you PHRF? If this new rudder had been used as a tail empanage on the F-86, instead of the inverted Cal 40 model, during the Korean "police action" of 1949-1953, would the Air Force have shot down more Mig 15s? Confused historians want to know. Is, or, R, you going to be at the Mariner's Village/Shorline Yacht Club, for the TransPac; anyone on the list going to be there (or be square)? I will be doing the Queen Mary feeder race in, in July, Neptune willing! We will be feeding the big big race, but not doing it, in me Cal 24 Olde. I got big plans to make it around the Death Cape, Palos Verdes, the ship wreck, buoy R10 without getting stuck in steep chop and becalmed and left in the wake of the fleet, like in all previous QM Races. I will be chanting sea shanties to Neptune and sprinkling libations, liberally, before we depart. If Eric, me trusty foist mate, has enough to drink, at the after the race party, at Shorline YC, he will be disinhibitted, up dancing wildly half passed midnite. A sight to behold to please the Sea Gods. Arrrghh! Oh yes, and another hearty ArrrgghhhHH!

In all, the Cal-List put together 25 rudders for the Cal 40 (& 36) at significant savings. If each of us did a one-off they would have been @$5,000 each. We sold the rudders on a production run for about $1,200 each. We left the plug and mold with Foss Foam and Doug Grant in southern California. This rudder, per my recollection, has been amalgamated as a Cal 40 class rudder.

PHRF stayed even, as it is the same surface area.. at least in so. cal, sf, and pacific northwest. I have heard other regions have gotten a hit.. but not on the West Coast. NO Transpac this year.. yipes, that hurts to say.. Cal Gal is getting refit for either a Vic Maui or Pacific Cup in 2010. A small tear will wander down my cheek as the Transpac starting gun sounds and my wallet inflates from all the money I saved pressing against my other cheeks..
