I did not do as well as i should have. But i ended up leaving the event in better shape than some people, which i'm thankful for.

Are you going to the Madison Regatta this year? I can't remember if they run your class or not.

I will be there as a spectator. They do not run my class. They are running the 7l class this year there. I have some friends who will be there for that.

just so its not just about you and your boat, heres a few of mine from a couple different trips ive done recently

VP has a trick 360° camera on his boat.

Not my boat but I make parts for it, sorta a communal effort.

Why not? While I have started building one, it's a very slow process, and there isn't much to show yet.

Yes, we do. I'd love to take that thing for a spin.

He's 2.5 mod or stock, I can't remember? I can also run with the A class (2.5 mod) boats. Was he not at NJ this weekend? That black boat that was running next to him in the second video is fast, lotta money in it.

You can take the driver's class. 10 laps. It's $400 though, which is pretty steep for just a joy ride.

it's the stock 2.5l pinto motor class. Since we are in NJ I assume he's at the local races. He does have a race this weekend that he needed a gauge mount made for, I thought he said it was in Canada though. :dunno:

thank you, its a pretty awesome kayak. only downside is that its not light haha.


thats pretty sweet!!

Ahh. Yeah greenwood lake was just this last weekend. If he was there I missed him.

We need more videos of your boat Erat. Pictures aren't enough.

Video.


I'm signed up for Cambridge, MD to race on the Chopank River August 19th - 20th.
Then it's off to National finals in Evansville In, on the Ohio river. That's September 2nd - 3rd.

Cambridge is about 45 from me if you need help.

Absolutely. We are a crew of two, so an extra set of hands is appreciated.

Shit im slacking thought this was next weekend. I'm free this afternoon/tomorrow. I'll PM you my number in case you happen to check in here.

Zero HP. 1,000% FUN
 

Here is my watertoy.

Hobie 17 Sport, no engine, no HP, no noise. top speed about 15mph. but at this speed it feels like 100.
Super fun on a windy day.

Always wanted to try sailing. My buddy just finished a solo sailing from Washington to Alaska on a 17ft tri hull. 15 days.

That is nuts for a 17ft boat, and SOLO!

longest sail i did was sail from Port Canaveral, FL to St Augustine FL. took 36 hours. me and a buddy. i was exhausted afterwards due to lack of sleep, as one has to stand watch, and you cant really sleep well more than 2-3 hours at a time.
I cant imagine 15 days with broken up sleep and possibly bad weather.

and this is 2 people on a comfy 32ft sailboat that can sleep 6, with autopilot, kitchen, fridge, couches, bed, etc...

Good Ol' Chevy small block and it's orange too. Excellent! :)
