Just put my C25 in our local Frostbite Regatta up in North Idaho. Ooh yeah, great day.
I scraped the name off the boat when I bought her last spring, and when the weather warms up will come up with a good one. Probably Aqua Buddha.

Before you change the name of your boat be sure to follow these steps.

Nice looking boat -- beautiful surroundings -- great looking crew.

Google "John Vigor" and you may find his unofficial official renaming ceremony -- a must!

Enjoy!

Thanks guys -

I did Vigor's denaming ceremony when I removed the old name, and will complete it when I put on a new name. Nothing like tradition and appeasing the gods.

It's always fun to take people out on my C25, especially experienced sailors. When we get some breeze and heel over and get in the pocket, it's a solid and stable boat, seemingly larger than it's size.
We raced against some 32' boat and a Ranger 26', and alas came in third just after the Ranger. But I did not put on the 150 genoa, wanting to feel absolutely safe with that size of a crew and in those conditions. I'm positive we would have spanked them had I flown the 150.

BTW, that's a wonderful shot!

Great picture, and with those smiles you would almost think it was warm.

Temperature was about 38, but the smiles were from the rum.

What a difference a few degrees of latitude makes...was also racing Sat (see post from DaveR on the race page), but I was still in shorts.

Calden, looks like a beautiful place to sail

Great pics in your race post! I won't be in shorts until April, I'm sure. Yeah, we have an amazing lake to sail on. Absolutely huge and surrounded by mountains.

Beautiful pic and sailing venue. How is though that your waters are not iced over by now?

The lake is very deep, and holds temperature. 1200' out in the middle. Cold in the summer and not so freezing in the winter. There is very little shallow area at our end of the lake, so my slip has 30' or so under it.

We have regular northern winters with air coming down out of Canada, alternately tempered by fronts coming in from the Pacific via Puget Sound. We thus get a lot of cold and moderate snow, but it's not quite the three-month icebox that, say, Minnesota is.
