What a great fit; it’s always nice to have a new crispy sail to fine tune your boats This year's NM/PC, held April 22-23, had performance. Friday’s wind was exceptional and everything one could hope for: gorgeous weather, Charmed Life and Amata sailed briskly across plenty of water in the lake, and not a lot of Folsom Lake up and back the lower finger. After powerboat wakes to make the ride bumpy. Two we tucked our boats away in their respective slips, boats attended: Quiet Time, a Catalina 25 skippered we returned on Saturday for the pre-race skippers by Past Captain Laura-Ann, and a Venture 22, meeting.

Eventually, the mast was successfully rigged up, NEW MEMBERS/PAST CAPTAINS CRUISE and the boat was ready to launch around noon, April 22-23, 2017 when a second, more serious mishap struck. Lacy Cruise Leader: Laura Ann Charlot got Sedna into the water at the Brown's Ravine Quiet Time, Catalina 25 ramp, but then the boat refused to float off of the trailer, even after the trailer was backed down until One of my favorite Fleet 4 events every year, since the tongue was completely submerged and water my first one in 1992, is the New Members/Past was almost up to the truck's tailgate. We pulled the Captains Cruise, traditionally held the third or boat out, and looked underneath, but couldn't see fourth weekend in April. In the past several years, anything obviously wrong, so Gary hopped aboard, the NM/PC has been, on average, the best-attended and we tried launching Sedna again. Still no luck; of Fleet 4's overnight cruises at Folsom Lake. Why the boat would not float off the trailer, and it was is this such a popular event? I think it has a lot to obvious that the swing keel was not clearing one of do with conditions at Folsom Lake in spring: the the trailer frame cross-members. So Gary tried weather is in that perfect zone for outdoor activities, cranking the keel up, and BANG!!! The Boat with temperatures not too hot or too cold, and the lurched alarmingly, and there was a noise like someone had dropped a very large, heavy object packed up, tied the kayaks back into towing onto, well, a steel trailer frame. Gary reported that position, and I took my guests on an exploration of the keel cable was tight and could not be cranked up the South Fork all the way to the Salmon Falls Road any higher, yet the boat would still not float off. At bridge, which is as far as one can go up South Fork this point, there was nothing left to do but haul the in a sailboat. We motored back to the Marina, boat out, park it, and try to figure out what might be arriving there just before sunset, and after bidding wrong.

Despite the "knock-on-wood" situation with Sedna's Furthermore, some former owner had used keel cable, we had a very nice day on Sunday, and improper materials for the most recent replacement: the damage to the boat could have been much galvanized (non-stainless steel), plastic coated 1/8" worse, so Lacy was lucky in a way. Keel cables are cable, and cable clamps instead of copper swage a regular maintenance item, and no one should sleeves. The proper cable for this keel is probably expect to run one more than maybe 5 years anyway, 1/4" diameter, maybe even 5/16", so that 1/8" cable so it was due for a replacement even if it hadn't was seriously undersized. We were just broken when it did. Thank you to Lacy Ripoll and extraordinarily lucky that the cable snapped with crew, and Gary Preston, for making this one of my the boat still on the trailer - if this had happened most "memorable" New Members/Past Captains with the boat floating free, we would not have been cruises, and see you all at the next Fleet 4 Event! able to put the boat back on the trailer, at least not without a diver going down and rigging a new MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND CRUISE cable, which would have been difficult to do on a May 27-29, 2017 weekend.

And only 13 steps down to the docks, with the water actually still rising! I am almost afraid to write these words, as I fear I could jinx the lake by publishing this report, and thus have BuRec start dumping again.

We’ve sailed her at Monterey, SF bay, the San Juan Islands, and had her in a slip at Folsom for several years. We’ve had a Catalina 22, a McGregor 26, and she is by far the best boat we’ve owned. We are now restoring an old Airstream, so our focus is changing, and it is time to let the Hunter go.
