S2 7.9 Meter Class Association

West Florida PHRF allows 6 seconds for boats with inboards that were available from the factory both ways. Complete WF rules are at westfloridaphrf.org

Home Depot wants $55 for a piece of lexan. I bought some 1/2" starboard at West for $30, a case of Sam Adams and still have money left from my $55 dollars.

My aft piece lifted right out, the factory screws were stripped also. Powder coated aluminum sounds a little rich for my blood.I am currenly investigating plexiglass. Lexan sells for $55 for a 2 foot by 4 foot sheet.

Shattered my large plate covering the daggerboard well aft of the tang. Thinking about replacing it with marine plywood. Anybody have any other thoughts?

I followed the discussion and I have read your stuff on Hottamale. Went on Rock hall, but I had already read your articles. I am very interested in your thought on wrong end as my local fleet is almost all bargers. I always start down the line or at the pin. They say [quote] a colision at sea can ru...

All PHRF is local. Know your local rules. Here in West Florida racers are given a choice. They can race Class Rules and get an "ODR" note on their certificate or not. For 7.9's ODR means it's ok to raise and lower the board, there are limits on new sails, there is no time allowance for inb...

An antique car buff across the street turned me on to using Laquer Thinner to remove oil and grease from my cloth car seats. I have since used it on my cushions.

I'd like to see that Dave. I always enjoy reading your opinions.

I love to read Dave's posts, sometimes I disagree, sometimes not. Today is not.. I respect all the work you have put into the class and I thank you also , but, I am not in favor or a one turn penalty. In the 30+ years I have raced, I have been on both sides of a surprise port-starboard confrontation...

I oppose #1 along with Dave and 507. I hope that class events will support sailing by the rules that everybody else sails to the rest of the year.

West Florida PHRF penalizes any boat removing an inboard 6 sec/mile

Oh. OK on paying on line. I just guessed that dues were on jan 1 basis. Paid mine by check. Never got a notice.

A couple of months ago, there were discussions about Roller Furling, forestay length measuring and some other " suggested rule questions" Did anything ever come of this? I was killing time this morning and went to the Class Rules. Page 1 sez 2006 rules. ??
