Yes, if somebody could help I would be delighted to cooperate, but access from the land is not possible with a vehicle, what is needed is a power crane and power winch . let me take a photo first

	We could have used this 2 weeks ago when we hauled our boat out and found our keel rusted away in some spots..we have done a lot of fairing and epoxying and soon fiberglassing, so thanks for the offer.  It might still be a good thing for somebody in the fleet to pick up, just in case.

		Dear all,
		
		Yesterday, walking down the beach where I live (The Cove Apartments at the end of Richardson 'S bay), I made the sad discovery of a Tuna keel still  attach to a small part of the hull !!!!  (:((
		
		It is not uncommon to have boats washed down on the beach during winter storm. I have already seen 4 or 5 in 18 months.
		
		Just in case somebody needs a keel, that would also be good for the beach, not a nice sight ... 
		Regards
		jean

		For anybody new to the fleet, this refers to our white sails races which are main and class jib only, no spinnaker.  The season has two halves this year which can be entered separately and will have separate winners.  The first half begins on May 19th with a race in the South Bay and ends on June 23rd.  The second half begins in late July and and ends in early September.  Finally on October 13th there is the Champion of Champions race where the winners of the 1st and 2nd half seasons from all the different classes duke it out. 
		
		The YRA site is: http://www.yra.org/
		
		There is some info on filling out the form here:
		http://tuna.tolachi.com/articles/YRAGuide 
		
		If you have any questions, please ask them.  It is very possible that someone else is wondering the same thing.
		
		
		
		1st half:
		
		May 19: South Bay - 3 races
		June 9: Knox - 2 races
		June 19: Summer Sailstice (Olympic Circle) - 3 races 
		
		2nd half:
		
		?
		Aug 25: City Front - 2 races
		Sep 9: Season Closer - 3 races
		
		The traditional South Bay event by the Bay View Boat Club is on August 18th, the week after nationals.  I was a bit worried that nobody will show up because they will be burnt out from Nationals, which is the weekend before.  However, it may be that a couple of boats from down south would stick around to do that race with us.  I had hoped that there might be another multi race day in the 2nd half that we could use, but I´m not sure that is the case.  Does anybody have opinions one way or the other here? 
		
		Do we want one or two throwouts per half?  I am not sure what is traditional, but it seems it could go either way.  How does 2 if all 8 races are sailed and 1 if 7 or fewer races are sailed sound?
		
		Finally, you may have noticed that all of the HDA races that have constituted our spinnaker series in the past are gone from the calendar.  These races had abysmal turnout last year, often only 2 or 
		3 boats.  I felt that the low turnout was demoralizing and contributed to the class losing a boat this season.  If there are enough people who want to do these races we can do them.  What I would really like to do is talk about what we can do for our spinnaker series at the next class meeting.  I feel that it needs a change in format in order to revive its popularity. 
		
		If you have an opinion on any of the above, please speak up.
		
		Thanks,
		
		Pete
