Thanks Edgar. I totally agree that Rod is undoubtedly trying to lure an ent=
ire fleet of Frers 33s to Canada so he has someone to play with. I can=B4t =
blame him. I think for the rest of us, adding to the number of boats in New=
England who will participate in one design events should be a priority.
=20
While not a one design event, the Off Soundings Spring and Fall series has =
attracted four Frers 33s so it=B4s a great event in its own right, offering=
some one design competition nested within class C-2. Anyone interested in =
giving Off Soundings a try, contact Edgar, Bob Farnum, Bob Connell or me. W=
e will help you get started.

There are so many secrets tucked into Dave's short note about the one desig=
n regatta. Everything I think is important to winning is mentioned; changin=
g gears as conditions change, setting up the boat, entering challenging eve=
nts, sailing with your friends and family, and racing on other people's boa=
ts now and then.

Other boat owners I talk to are always jealous of the one-design action we =
have in the Frers 33. I sailed on a Soverel 33 at a one design event earlie=
r this summer and there is no comparison between the boats, The Frers is mu=
ch more fun to sail and don't even ask about cruising! If you find anyone t=
alking about a buying a racing boat, encourage them to buy one of the 33s o=
n the market, before Rod lures them all to Canada..=20

I am relieved to be able to say that Bob was able to tell the Frers 33 repa=
ir division at Pilot=B4s Point Marina to stand down after this weekend. The=
re was no repeat of last year=B4s carnage and I think everyone truly had a =
great time. I, for one, was very encouraged by the amount of interaction am=
ong both owners and crew, sharing ideas, techniques, rig settings, etc. in =
an effort to bring the level of competition even closer. Younger crew in pa=
rticular seemed especially eager to learn. It really enforces the notion th=
at if you want to build a motivated and consistent crew, this event in part=
icular 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=
=B4ve figured out some things over that time. There=B4s no question that we=
do things a certain way, the boat=B4s rigged to facilitate that, we have a=
lot of experience in handling the boat under different conditions and I th=
ink we find and change gears pretty well. But probably the single biggest f=
actor in the success of our program has been cultivating a steady, consiste=
nt crew. Don Melillo (jib trimmer and spinnaker guy) is the only crew membe=
r who=B4s been with me since day one. My wife Kathy, while initially coming=
along and doing different jobs on weekend races, didn=B4t really start as =
a regular part of the crew until 1999 or 2000. She trims spinnaker and help=
s Don with tacking the jib. Others of the crew date back to 2001-2004. The =
core crew has been on the boat for more than ten years now. Before you star=
t to think that this might be tough to achieve (or you=B4re not that patien=
t!), I should point out that 2001 was the first year we participated in a N=
orth Americans event. By consistently racing in at least one big event ever=
y year, like Frers 33 North Americans at Sail Newport and NYYC Race Week, w=
e built a team that knows and does their 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, enthusiasti=
c crew soaking up knowledge this weekend, I had a great feeling about what =
this would mean for the future of the class 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=B4s the best boat of its type ever made. Let=B4s make sure=
they are going fast wherever they are being sailed!=
