Carl,

Checked the Miami Coastal Challenge and so happy to see you that you won the
ARC Division. Another feather in your hat.

Thanks Ned, we missed having you with us. Here's a link to the results

I got a little greedy at the start and was over early, went back to the line and restarted. But I don't think that with a clean start we could have finished any higher overall. Fun weekend, Miami Yacht Club was an excellent host.

I can only get better. Perhaps I should add a feathering prop.

Barry, the important thing is that you were out there. I hope you had fun. As far as the prop, if you are going to race, you need to ditch the fixed prop. There are some very good folding props on the market that give very good thrust both forward and reverse at less than half the price of a feathering prop. Please consider doing the Hospice regatta next year as the proceeds go to a good cause.

What is your prop of choice? Trying to decide between gori and autoprop
