I am relieved to be able to say that Bob was able to tell the Frers 33 repa=
ir division at Pilot=E2=80=99s Point Marina to stand down after this weeken=
d. There was no repeat of last year=E2=80=99s carnage and I think everyone =
truly had a great time. I, for one, was very encouraged by the amount of in=
teraction among both owners and crew, sharing ideas, techniques, rig settin=
gs, etc. in an effort to bring the level of competition even closer. Younge=
r crew in particular seemed especially eager to learn. It really enforces t=
he notion that if you want to build a motivated and consistent crew, this e=
vent in particular and one design racing in general, is an important tool.
=20
Bob mentions that we have owned Wolverine a long time (since 1996) and we=
=E2=80=99ve figured out some things over that time. There=E2=80=99s no ques=
tion that we do things a certain way, the boat=E2=80=99s rigged to facilita=
te that, we have a lot of experience in handling the boat under different c=
onditions and I think we find and change gears pretty well. But probably th=
e single biggest factor in the success of our program has been cultivating =
a steady, consistent crew. Don Melillo (jib trimmer and spinnaker guy) is t=
he only crew member who=E2=80=99s been with me since day one. My wife Kathy=
, while initially coming along and doing different jobs on weekend races, d=
idn=E2=80=99t really start as a regular part of the crew until 1999 or 2000=
. She trims spinnaker and helps Don with tacking the jib. Others of the cre=
w date back to 2001-2004. The core crew has been on the boat for more than =
ten years now. Before you start to think that this might be tough to achiev=
e (or you=E2=80=99re not that patient!), I should point out that 2001 was t=
he first year we participated in a North Americans event. By consistently r=
acing in at least one big event every year, like Frers 33 North Americans a=
t Sail Newport and NYYC Race Week, we built a team that knows and does thei=
r jobs well and really wants to win. I credit the early years of one design=
racing with helping me put in place the crew that makes Wolverine go. When=
I saw all of the young, enthusiastic crew soaking up knowledge this weeken=
d, I had a great feeling about what this would mean for the future of the c=
lass and the level of competition we would achieve.
=20
We are all eager to learn and willing to share, so please, use the discussi=
on list to ask questions and share ideas about all things Frers 33. Racing =
and cruising, it=E2=80=99s the best boat of its type ever made. Let=E2=80=
=99s make sure they are going fast wherever they are being sailed!

Mike, welcome to the class the 33 is a great boat all around racing and cru=
ising. We just had a great regatta this past weekend, Dave obviously is cl=
ick faster than the rest of us but after 20 years I the boat he and his cr=
ew have figured out how to make it go fast forward. It is a tribute to the =
boat that they have had it so long. All the rest of us need to do is find t=
hat extra tenth or two that they have. I sail against Dave at our home club=
and you try to find ways to catch him , so as a weekly sparring partner it=
has helped us improve our speed. =20

Thanks Dave and Kathy
