The dates for the Dolphin Cup are Sep 8-9.

So the big news event... ended kinda the same as the way that Cain went down - well, the fizzle was the same, sans all the sluttyness!

The results from the vote on the proposed changes to the Constitution and the Class Rules will be posted to http://moore24.org/

We had a ripper! For those in the Moore family who grew up and moved away, the auction/party was a blast and couldn’t have happened without all of the willing hands helping out. Also, big thanks to everyone near and far for opening your wallets to help out. We had a ton of wonderful items donated, the first round of the auction is done and I think that the second drawing is in May sometime.

The Ripper, that was a good story – well I thought so, fun to write and also fun to have been there.

The rare restraint and slightly uncomfortable feeling of not having a full crew assembled for 2012 has been resolved! Yay, Mark English co-owner of 106 Numa Boa stepped up to be the next SF Fleet Captain. Many thanks to his wife and family for giving him the green light to help out with the fleet, awesome. Mark is at english.mark.a@gmail.com

Please be aware that hull to deck bolts are required for the 2012 season going forward. I know that many of us have removed the toe rail either completely or in sections and with that some of our boats have sections of this joint that are unsuported by mechanical fasteners. Every other bolt (a bolt approx every 8") is required as a minimum and these bolts have to be 1/4 x 20 stainless. Some boats have flat heads that are countersunk while others have pan heads that sit on the deck.

Hello Moore 24 sailors...

Using the email addresses of the Moore 24 owners, the Yahoo Group site,
the moore 24.org website and the old telephone are all things that I
probably should have done a long time ago but... Please select the
likely correct answer:
A/ I was doing gel-coat work,
B/ I decided to get a West Wight Potter to sail all by myself,
C/ Simon you are just a lazy bastard!

Anyway, did you notice that this was put to you in the form of a
multiple choice question? This is a tool that I think will work

Dear Moore 24 Family,

i am writing to remind everybody that the annual Moore 24 year-end party is coming up soon. It will be held at Santa Cruz Yacht Club November 19 at 5:00. For those who have not been to a Moore 24 party in Santa Cruz, it is always a great time.

This year's event is particularly special for the fleet. We will be hosting an online auction with the proceeds benefiting the Verutti family. For those who have not seen the auction website, I invite you to check it out here http://moore24.org/auction/.
