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

Rumor has it that during the Nationals SDYC will be serving Stone IPA on tap. If that doesn't get you there, I don't know what event organizers can do to lure you in. For those of you who want an alternative, Brad tells me that they are also serving Arrogant Bastard Ale. Brad- how do you know that?

Tracy and I split the regatta with Doug and Louise Walker from England. Friday was the distance race which was held in a light southerly and rainy conditions-not ideal or epic in any way, but sailable. Doug and Louise sailed this as we wanted to give them the chance to… Continue

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?
