"Greetings from the Caribbean," says Tom Babbitt. "I had a crazy idea this winter while cruising the eastern Caribbean and reflecting that there are at least eight J/46's based in Maine.....we should do something together!
Lyman-Morris runs an excellent event in late July based at Camden Yacht Club- it's the Camden Classics Cup. And, with a minimum 4 boats we can have a one-design start, trophies and a wonderful time. A few years ago I was able to get six J/160's on the line and it was a blast!
Our one design rules would be as follows (so no one gets out of cruising trim):
- Appropriate cruising anchor and chain in place on the bow
- Dodger up and in place
- Jib maximum is 100%, no Genoa's
- No spinnakers
- Auto pilots, electric winches and whisker poles permitted
- Single handed, double handed or a whole gang of crew all good
- Deep draft will carry a PHRF handicap relative to shoal draft boats- per Rod Johnstone's recommendation
Come one, come all, love to see you all there from anywhere!"
