Our club uses about a dozen permanent marks, and most of them are either CG
or Navy marks or buoys; each is assigned a letter for making the course
easy to note on a board. When a dropped mark is used, it is denoted "X" and
a bearing from the start is stated; this is generally only for weekly RTB
I’ve not thought of the canvas cover idea but I did have a local Seattle guy
give me a quote to cover the entire transom with vinyl matching the hull color
and with the name on top. I think I would have gone that route if we were not
planning to sell SLY. The reverse shear transom sure takes a

I agree on the comment about

The thread on paint was timely. I commented that I was beginning to see
some fading on Touche's transom as it faces the sun in my Pensacola slip.
Red seems to be particularly susceptible to fading.
I just talked to my canvas maker about making a custom "transom cover".
The cover would cover the

Wash it periodically with AwlWash and polish it with AwlCare. Sides still
look great. Seeing a bit of fading on the transom.
Edd,
On Narragansett Bay almost all the clubs use Gov't marks augmented by
RC/YC dropped marks for their courses. If a mark starts drifting or the
USCG pulls a gov't mark the race is normally abandoned. Narragansett bay
East passage is defined by the USCG as a "Narrow Channel" and therefor
It does look great, but it is hot. For a balsa core boat probably not
noticeable, but for a solid boat it is.

I have received the "don't go with a dark color" advice many times, but if you

Depends on who is doing the prep work? Is it being done in the yard or at a
proper Marine shop? Mine should have come in at under C$20K but I did a lot of
the deck removal, sanding and prep work. Actual cost was much higher (don’t
ask). I was quoted $25K for the deck by a Marine shop. The
Coquina was painted dark blue in 1979 and again in 1985. The paint has
done well, no fading or anything, more like just gloss fading to not so
glossy. The boat *really* needs another paint job, but that is from
getting run into or other signs of use over the decades, not paint
failure. I am

Richard,
Our boat was originally red and painted dark blue with Awlgrip at least 15
years ago. We are the 3rd owner since it was painted so I am a little unsure
of the exact time frame. The previous owner recommended the Awlgrip soap and
polish in the spring, and we have continued that. We
I had my hull painted dark green (previously black); it was not Awlgrip, but a
suitable Imron-like PPG paint as I recall; the cost for my 42 (about seven or
eight years ago) was around $7K; it was done outdoors, so there are a few minor
imperfections – but it looked great (lots of compliments);
Our club now has a permanent buoy that we use as a turning mark, but we used
government marks or permanent marks placed by other yacht clubs (with their
permission) for many years. We race upwind/downwind courses so our volunteer
committee boats (normally sailboats) drop an inflatable mark
Joe,
no clue! She could see we were turning at the mark. Wind was light, but
no one got near her side of the channel. No need for 5 blasts ...

Last year for Hospice Cup the RC used a government mark. We did not need
to cross the channel, just round the mark off Annapolis. The fleet arrived
about the same time as a freighter (on the other side of the channel). The

Using permanent marks makes sense and are typically in you chart plotter to

I have no firsthand experience with “virtual marks” in my racing history. But
one of the best features of sailboat racing is mark roundings, especially when
competition is close and there are tactical decisions that would allow one boat
to gain places over another. How in the world are you
That might have been me, but I've since sold the old transducer and speedo

IMHO this is a bad idea.
The whole idea of how mark roundings happen in racing cannot work if the
notional idea of where the mark is differs by even 5 or 10 feet from boat to
boat. I would either use government marks or you all cough up enough cash to
get an old Whaler and teenager to run
I recall being in a race a number of years ago in which the mark was missing.
The owner of the lead boat claimed the boat did a “navigational rounding” –
which it may have done – but everyone was so skeptical that the race was
abandoned.
