[Rhodes22-list] Any racers on the list?

[David Culp]

I recommend this book for beginning racers:

"Getting Started in Sailboat Racing" by Adam Cort and Richard Stearns

Available at Amazon.com

Great primer with enough information and diagrams to get you out there
without getting too bogged down in all the nuts and bolts of sail trim.

Is there still anyone on the list that races?  I think I'm going to enter a
racing series on Wednesday nights, more for the experience and the built in
requirement that I go sailing every Wednesday than from any expectation to
be competitive.  They usually have 8-12 boats participate of every shape and
size, but we will be the smallest by at least a few feet.  I know absolutely
nothing about racing rules, strategy, etc., but part of the fun will be to
learn some of that stuff.



All encouragement and advice from the list are appreciated.
