Hey Bob
How about jumping on Alianna with the old boys and doing the cruiser fleet in Chester next summer, I was waiting to ask until the season started but since Mike has you in his sights I thought I better get in a word in now.I will be leaving the spinnakers in the basement, we want you for the after guard where you won't have to hide _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robert Abbott Sent: January 31, 2014 11:47 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Stus-List Now Racing Mike: Thank you.....might just take you up on that.....but you should know that every time I go below to pack the chute, I have a beer.....Barlow can attest to that....Dempsey didn't care for it but I always packed on the same side of where he was on the helm so he couldn't see me.....he could always get a new 'bow man' but no one wanted to do that job! Too funny when I think back! Rob On 2014/01/31 11:37 AM, Hoyt, Mike wrote: Bob Always room on Nut Case.

After 25 years (seasons here) of constant racing, both crewing on others' boats and campaigning our K25 for 6 seasons, I simply wanted a change..... in those 25 years, I never missed one Chester Race Week. I still want to be on the water but just doing it in a more relaxing manner. And I am beginning to get back the urge to do a little racing....I wouldn't mind doing the odd race but not be expected to show up on a regular basis. But good racing skippers/crews prefer to have regulars.....I won't commit to do that these days. Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S.

(OK Bruce's current boat has probably raced a total of two times in last five years and in only fun races ..but . ) For my friend Bob I would change that to "I no longer race" because there was a heck of a lot of racing before that for you and Dwight and others ..

And the way I use my main, I hardly doubt the chaffing would be any worst than the UV damage....probably not going to shorten the life of any halyard under these circumstances.
