B Sailing

Spectacular weather alert--time to go sailing, sign up on Meetup to get out on the Bay.

So great to be back on with water with longtime friend Rob Mock with his Cleveland crew Chad and K2, with Daniel Georgianni and Cliff Haddox.  Getting Zippity recalibrated. She still has wheels when the set up is right. Very tight racing with very little margin for error.

Some mainsail and jib testing….gorgeous day.

Absolutely perfect day in November for kite training— until you wrap the prop with a sheet, part of the training on what not to do…

Hello Sailors--Meetup has some new tools and I will try to reach out into the greater Houston area to bring interested families and singles together and learn about sailing and racing. If you register for this "event", I can stay in touch about our future program offerings.

Let's Get Sailing Again, Wed, Oct 8, 2025, 1:00 AM | Meetup Hello All, This "event" is just to let you know I will be restarting this group with racing and cruising events. Primetime sailing is now. I am getting my 34' J105 back to

Tight racing and great competition at the Houston Yacht Club HOOD Regatta. 2nd place finish was well earned.

Thank you to Bill Mead for setting the right rig tension, and having “ Spitire” smoking fast in light air. We got back to the dock and the uppers were at 34, intermediate at 15, and lowers with 4 inches of slack. I would have sailed with much less tension. With four bodies on board, we were super light and with some backstay on to open up the mainsail we seem to have the right combination, jib sheet adjusted constantly, and finding breeze and staying in it.

Enjoying the Bay with family and friends and new friends.

We have had two simply amazing days on Galveston Bay in a row for Memorial Day weekend. Saturday tested a delaminating 2005 jib with severe consequences, Sunday had more success with a 2009 Kevlar model…photo credits Kevin and Gayle Cook.
