Midnight Ridazz is about to get a sailboat. Let's load up a 8 bikes, 8 ridazz and go ride Catalina. I'll be sailing her down here and docking in MDR within a few weeks.

reply


I SAIL BOATS!!!

For the uneducated that means I can tell the difference between:
lines and ropes
halyards and sheets
running and standing rigging
blocks and cleats
port and starboard

AVAST!

i took the catalina express a couple months ago with my friend and we took our bikes.... ! of course it would be WAY cooler with a sailboat.

if you want to access the coooool parts of Catalina, we were told, you need to get something called a "conservancy pass"

FYI

Sailboat operations don't seem that difficult to pick-up.
I'm a fast learner when it comes to the mechanical workings and I could hold my breathe underwater for extended, periods of time.

Isn't there another boat owner in this thread? I've crewed and volunteer here. It looks like she's ketch rigged. I'll take the front sail assuming you're going to do this under sail. Normally, you have to go on long tacks to reach Catalina so how long will it take?

Freak Catalonia!



FuzzBeast
06.11.08 - 2:23 am

reply


mk,

yes. she is a ketch. sailing to catalina from mdr usually begins with motoring early morning due south until northwesterly winds pick up midmorning. then its a fun, fast sail at about 6 knots on a beam reach. getting to twin harbor or emerald cove is about 6 hours. heading to avalon you turn downwind to a beam reach with following seas and sometimes can surf a wild ride peaking at a crazy 9 knots... which is much faster than hull speed (6.78 knots). avalon is about 8 hours.

from what i've read, avalon up to the airport is paved. to really explore the island you'll want a mtn bike which also can be rented there. a pass needs to be purchased from avalon or twin harbors for $20 for back country riding.

costs nothing to terrorize the tourists on avalon, though. tallbikes get priority onboard.

annie,

i look at a boat and i get seasick, which is not a good way to be if you like to sail singlehanded. i swear by those accupressure wrist bands, and i double swear by the electrostim bands. i don't get it but that shit works. i have a bunch onboard.



indigis

another seasickness trick that works for some of my friends is ginger tablets. Take a couple of those an hour before sailing, or just chew on some ginger root!

06.11.08 - 9:12 am

yes. she is a ketch

I wanna crew! Jib, Genoa, either way, I'll handle those sails for you if you'd like. Hitting 9 knots on a beam reach has got to be a weird feeling, moving but no sense that you're really moving. Do she have a spinnaker? Does she have a wheel or a tiller? The last time I was on a ketch, she had a wheel but we had to go out under power from MDR until we got into the channel and could pick up some winds. It was my first time I ever skippered with a wheel and I liked it. I sure miss sailing but to get back on topic, will there be room to bring my mountain bike on board?




mk4524
06.11.08 - 7:09 pm

reply


michael, you are so totally welcome aboard.

she has a wheel and a big Perkins 50 horse deasel engine when needed. no spiniker right now but I may be getting a fore staysail. I usually run her with a 150 genoa... don't use a roller furling or even a gps. i dead reckon my positioning. very old school like my bikes.

michael, you are so totally welcome aboard.

THANKS! I really love sailing and I'm getting excited thinking about it. I'd like to buy a used Coronado 15 since that's about all I can afford and "moor" it in my driveway but I like a big heavy keel and I don't want to try ocean sailing in a Coronado. A roller reef for the Jenny would be nice but you won't have to try to sail it by yourself and you'll have enough people to raise the sail. Does it have a knot meter? I used one on a larger boat and it helped me trim the jib when I was heading up.

Michael, you'll love this sailboat then. I bought this Fuji ketch, , 20 years ago when I when I sailed ALOT (like I bicycle today) and was planning to circumnavigate with it. It has a full keel, 16,000 pounds displacement, designed by renowned archetect John Alden. A lot of people have used this model to circle the globe.

But, all that aside, I want to make this a Ridazz sail bus for the islands.

Matter of fact, if anyone has extra space in their backyard for that 19' dingy i'd like to get it outta the parking garage its collecting dust in and try to get it seaworthy. Allowing me to utilize said space would 100% ensure that you always have space on any voyage Rampage takes.

As you can see, the last thing i did was strip her old lead paint and pull up the deck completely. I want to throw a new one on her and will need to build a completely new mast.

It'll take some time and TLC but she's gonna be a real beauty when im finally done.
