Long ago I promised Hendo and others that I would post about what we learned about the B6, the new rig, etc. at the Worlds. This is my second attempt at doing so, having “disappeared” my last post into the ether of the universe.  It is my hope that this post might spark Archie Massey or Mark Tait to post their observations of both the B6 and the K3 having sailed both of them one afternoon in about 22 knots  after sailing at the Worlds was prematurely binned for the day.  Cameron Puckey may…

It has been awhile since there were any posts about beer on this site.  It says it is a site for i-14's and beer, so here goes.

I drove two hundred miles today in the snow and then after work stopped at the beer store, appropriately named Chuck's Hop House.  For some reason in addition to my go to Stone IPA I was attracted to a few other San Diego IPA's, Port Brewing's Wipe Out and Green Flash's IPA.  Can anybody tell me why these beers taste so good after coming home and…

I was watching this movie (from 1934, with Clarke Gable and Claudette Colbert).

The opening sequence is on a yacht, and there are at least two shots with what I think is an I14 in the picture.  The sail appears to have an I14 insignia, though faded, but for me the plumb bow is the real giveaway.  The mast is a gunter-rig.

I'll see if I can get a picture or two up.

Hi everyone, I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jimmy, I live on the south shore of long island. With my first I 14 just a day away from her new home I'm asking the community for some help. I have extensive sailing experience but have never sailed a 14 ever. I could really use some tips, tricks, and advice on getting started. besides the obvious, keep the smooth side down, and expect to swim.....alot, any advice would be very appreciated.

Thanks,

Jimmy Ranker

I am finally getting it together after that "d" thing. I need to get a mast, mainsail, and chute. I have a '97 Morrison, I think, and I want to get it put back together this winter so I can sail it next year. So, I am looking for somethink used...ideas? Offers?

My pipeline engineering conference provided the perfect cover for "just happening" to be in the area.  The hospitable, but gullible Seattle fleet took the bait.  Here is my daily report.

I see this site is advertised ass a place to talk about sailing and beer. It looks like a great site. Thank you Guillo. But where is the beer talk? Brad- are the Nationals going to be sponsored by Stone Brewery? Is there a bus rented for a field trip and dinner there for one of the nights?

For discussion- is there an IPA that is any better than Stone IPA?
