* Hospice Regatta- St. Croix- a report from Antonio Sanpere
sailing his beautiful J/36- "We just finished the Hospice Regatta in
St. Croix. We had a J-27, J-24, J-36, and hull number 1 J-95. The J-95
could have won except for a DSQ. The J-36 (mine) could have won except
for a DNF for sailing the wrong course and then breaking the main
halyard and having to race both days with a reefed main. We temporarily
rigged a block above the exit box for the genoa halyard and used the
old halyard to raise the main to where we could put in the reef!
Amazing. We had to remove the solid vang to get the boom low enough. It
was fun never the less!!"
