How do you determine start times for each boat in your pursuit races? We have
tried a couple of methods and all seem a bit problematic but tremendous fun.
Our sailors love pursuit format but it is a bit of work beforeheand for the
Race Committee

Mike,
We do pursuits in my area also. We use set courses so the distance is known.
You have to choose a maximum handicap and go from there.
Go to Corinthians.org click on the sailing instructions link. Then look at
the staggered start documents.

Dennis,
We do a couple of pursuit races too both with courses that are set well in
advance so the distances are known. I am not sure I understand your comment
about choosing a maximum handicap. We find out ahead of the race who plans
to participate and then work the time differences starting
At a YC in Sydney Australia a race is held every week throughout most of
the year. Your start time, based on your recent performance, is posted
on their website. The start line is just off the club house. A large
digital clock, which is visible from the starting area, is used as a
reference.
Where do you get it?

We have just a few predetermined courses for Pursuit. One member has a program
with each boat (small fleet - maybe 15 boats in his program) and the starting
setbacks for the courses. We have one boat which is our highest handicap boat (

You can also get sheets of thin, white plastic (8' x 4') at Home Depot, RONA

Not used it for headliners but I have used it for covers inside to put over
access holes for winch and jammer bolts.

I hate to be the caboose on this conversation but I do not understand what is
happening to the headliners on the boats, I've never had a headliner fall or
come apart, can someone explain what is happening and possibly the cause?
thanks.

Richard,
In the case of my boat, it is not the headliner, but the access panels that
are the problem. They are vinyl over plywood. The long ones are screwed
in, the more rectangular ones under the winches have velcro. Over the
years there have been leaks that have caused the plywood to fail in
Here's some other stuff I have used for lining commercial garages that looks
very nice and is friendly to use:

I’ve replaced the access panels on my headliner with 1/8” FRP that can be
bought at Home Depot in 4 X 8 sheets. Used the old panels as templates. I
tried attaching a couple of panels with velcro. Didn’t like the look. Too
thick. Next I tried screws like the originals were attached.
Thanks everyone! Lots of great options! I need to measure the longest
panel and narrow down the materials.*The Office* has come a long way in a
year, and you guys have been invaluable!

Mark,
I would run the engine a bit more with water after the oil change so that you
can check oil level and top off if needed. Then proceed to run anti-freeze
through engine.
Prepare for a big mess with the filter. Lots of paper towels etc.

Where were you, Sam? There is actually quite a bit over here, but just not a
whole bunch of commercialization, which is the way we like it. We're an hour
and a half from DC and Baltimore, so that is enough 'civilization' for most of
us.
And about 5-600 miles of shoreline in our county alone -
FWIW -the discussion got me to check. I had thought the access panels on my
35-3 were standard laminate but they appear to be fiberglass panels that are
very thin - texture and finish on the front but some definite random strands
and resin on the unfinished back. That said, they are very much
Or have a very resourceful PO who plumbed in circuit with a valve and hose
connection that enables one to close off the the outside intake, connect hose
to outside water source, open the valve in the plumbed in circuit and run the
engine quite merrily in minutes.

For the filter, unscrew it inside a ziploc bag (once you've loosened it).
Still a bit of mess, but less.

I've seen advice like this a couple of times. Be very careful about hooking
an land pressure water hose to your raw water system. As a matter of fact,
don't do it. You can end up filling the exhaust manifold and the cylinders
with water, which unsurprisingly, is bad for the engine. Far better to
This has been done on this boat for years. You just need to be prudent.
However, it still makes it easy to do the bucket thing, as well.

Gary,
I was sailing around Rock Hall and Oxford. Didn't get to St Michaels.
Also went into Baltimore inner Harbour - had Ravens tickets!
Much more civilized on the western side, but great sailing over to the east.
Great sun and wind. No rain all week - unusual for the Chesapeake - well when
we go
I haven't tried it myself, but I read many times in various forums about
making a hole on top of the oil filter with a screwdriver to drain the oil
from it.
Might be worth a try.
