Indiscipline is to leave Friday at 8 AM for San Diego bay bound for the start of San Diego - Ensenada. We are the smallest and slowest boat entered. We are in PHRF 5, a class composed of mainly Cat 30s. It is a 65 mile, overnight, opean ocean race. Right now the forecast is for W winds 10 to 15, going to SW after midnight. Seas are mixed 2 - 4. Showers are possible as 2 lows drive into the coast Saturday.

Crew Joe Wergers (sloopsmitten) and I are entered in double handed divsion. I feel if we can finish, we can place double handed.

I've been working on the boat non-stop for about a month and have spent nearly $2000 in the last two months on maintenance and upgrades. (New mainsail, new batteries, new battery charger, new stanchions, sewed my own new turtle bag, among others).

On Sunday we are entered in the Mexican yacht club's Regatta de los Todos Santos - just for fun.

On Monday we'll be driving back up the line.

I'm really busy at work and won't be able to check in tomorrow so wish us luck!

Jim,
Should I be bringing a birthday cake for Indiscipline Friday? Jim and I actually have sister boats in that his is 1978 hull # 398 and mine is 1978 hull # 381. Indiscipline has been upgraded for racing and cruising over the years and is loaded for bear as anyone who has read this forum the past few years can attest. Utopia is more of a cruising vessel and serves that purpose very well. I enjoy cruising or racing with Jim and feel as comfortable on Indiscipline as I do Utopia. But the fact that these two boats can offer their owners so much enjoyment 30 years later is certainly noteworthy.

I noticed Dennis Connor is racing with us on Stars and Stripes. Since this race is starting the slower boats first we should have a good view of him blowing by us. Don't want to forget that camera. I guess Dennis couldn't resist the temptation to enter when he found out the new Catalina/Capri 25/250 National Association Commodore was entered. Some people will do anything for a photo-op.

I suspect the much smaller boat is at a disadvantage, even to its handicap, in anything but ideal conditions on the open ocean. In light air, the C-30 has more sail up higher, and in heavy air they have more stability and momentum through the seas. Round-the-buoy handicaps might not apply too well.

Hope Jim & Joe had fun anyway!

"I suspect the much smaller boat is at a disadvantage"

Absolutely... on a big course a lot depends on how the wind fills or backs, from where and when... if you have boatspeed you can drive 'out' of bad situations or on the other hand, find the wind a lot quicker. With a slow boat, sometimes you have to gamble, go where the others aren't and hope the dice roll your way.

I think it's great that Jim's out there literally 'sailng the paint off the boat'.
I'm looking forward to reading his race report.
