S2 7.9 Meter Class Association

At least half of the boats had them at the recent National Championship. You can get them from your sailmaker or I bought mine from Unbridledsailing.com.

AJ Oliver. I've begged before for others to submit articles on anything S2 7.9 related with no luck. (Cruising spots, repair tips, etc.) I am up for any other suggestions.

Has anyone figured out a good way to use a portable air conditioning unit on the 7.9? I know there used to be a unit that could be put in the hatch, but I don't think they make that anymore. Quite hot and humid on the Chesapeake to cruise and stay on the boat in the Summer. The happier the family is...

There are now six boats registered, which guarantees a class. There is a line in the NOR about possibly needing 12 to have your own start. Hopefully that is not the case and we will have our own start.

We used to do this all the time on my Dads boat. We would then motor the boat back to the dock while we worked on it. No balance issues, just hard to steer without a board:)

John S. tried to call the LMPHRF contact tonight with no answer. He is going to try again tomorrow. The tentative plan will be for each boat to send the stock measurements back to LMPHRF. (As long as you have not made any modifications outside of class rules) I will post them tomorrow after we try o...
