Hi fellow =
Frers 33 Owners, Skippers and Crew,
It was =
really great to see 8 gorgeous Frers 33 yachts racing this past weekend =
at Branford/Pine Orchard. Congratulations to Edgar Smith and his =
crew for a stellar performance under variable conditions which ranged =
from almost no wind to winds of 15 to 20 kts with gusts in excess of =
that. Three of us from Equinox here in Halifax Nova Scotia made =
the 13 hour drive to Branford to crew on Frers 33 and we certainly =
enjoyed ourselves and it was well worth the 26 hours of driving. I =
think the fact that everyone was back from last season, some with a new =
boat and some with the a newly purchased boat is testament to the fact =
that we have a strong class and a great bunch of competitors. In =
summary a really great boat but an even better group of people. I =
believe it is a real tribute to Jim Mormile and his efforts to =
reactivate class racing. I'm sure he was smiling from his vantage =
point. Well done Jim and thanks again for your effort and =
dedication to the class.
Since we =
drove a total of 26 hours just to crew on other boats I'm hoping that =
some more boats will make the effort next season to get 10 or 12 boats =
on the line. I would like to thank all those who participated and =
especially Branford and Pine Orchard clubs for making it happen and the =
countless number of volunteers it takes to run such an =
event.
Bravo Zulu to all involved, Jim thanks again for the =
inspiration and leadership and to Dave and Art for their continuing =
support and leadership in keeping the class active.
In the next =
few weeks we will be putting together a questionnaire to see how we can =
make the class even stronger and get more Frers on the line for next =
season. If you have any suggestions do not hesitate to let me know as we =
have active Frers from Florida to Nova Scotia.
Fairs Winds =
and best wishes for a successful 2011.

Hi Guys,
Looking at replacing the traveler and car on Equinox (Original Harken). I'm looking at Garhaurer (http://garhauermarine.com/index.cfm ) as I have used their gear in the past and have found that it far exceeds anything else on the market in terms of quality, warranty (10 yrs) and price. Stainless and aluminum, no disintegrating plastic parts and unsurpassed quality in terms of welding and finish. Was wondering if anyone else has switched and if so which model they selected.
