ConnorGI think the hull integrity was compromised beforehand. Ron had just gotten some work done on one of the hulls where the trailor roller had put a dent in the bottom. That bad part was it broke about a minute from the finish line. After he had been hard sailing for a good hour. Helping him take it apart wasn't the most fun eitheredited by: ConnorG, Sep 02, 2010 - 10:25 PM

Sad, very sad...I have an 84 that I am going to beef up in the off season and put new the new brackets on. Hoping not to get that kind of explosion before I fix it up. I guess he parted out the boat after that??

skarr1At least they stayed with the boat, I fell off and watched the boat sail away with a non sailing crew. I had showed him how to furl the jib and heave to which he did about a half a mile from me. I was fished out of the pass by a Hobie 16 and taken back to my boat. edited by: skarr1, Sep 02, 2010 - 10:38 PM

O man Im glad you got fished out. I guess your crew was pretty freaked out. I was dragged about 50 yards holding on the tail end of the main sheet, all the while tightening the main so she would sail faster! Did a horizontal rope climb to the back of the boat. Was too worn out to get back on the boat. Power boater came by and asked if I needed help!! uh - yes.

So they dragged me and my boat over to the nearest shore...had a blast that day but it was humbling too.

TylerHLets hope its like this,

Wow! Crazy French Canadians crashing their boats.

Actually that reminds me of 2002 Juana Good Time Regatta that featured full carnage and was one of my first regattas.

Read my newbie account at
http://thebeachcats.com/Article30.html

I don't know about you guys but I like reading sailors first-person accounts like this, I wish more members would submit stories, you can be a star on the front page of TheBeachcats.com!

Also I'm going to quote the last paragraph of that story because it is still how I feel about beachcat regattas these years later.

"If your still with me this long I'll make a pitch for regattas everywhere. Whether or not you consider yourself a "racer", try attending a weekend event like this. Beachcat sailors are great people and the local organizers go out of their way to welcome newcomers. It's also about the cheapest sports participation you can do, most regatta fees are < 50 dollars for the weekend and include some food/drinks/t-shirts, many regattas have camping available near the site, or arrangements for reduced rate lodging. If you commit to sailing in a regatta, you will meet lots of great new friends and you will sail in locations and conditions you might not have tried before. "
