I had the chance to sail in the uber-competitive SDYC J/22 Beercan Series last night and man, was that fun, and humbling! 20 teams sailed in two flights - silver and gold - we were in silver of course, but had a couple nice finishes and a couple I'd rather not talk about, but I will.

2M ago30:22

30:22

Today, Tempesta goes on and on about his GD Hobie 33. He tells us that y'all love this sort of thing? It looks pretty good until you realize Danny Devito couldn't stand up inside. What the hell is he thinking? Oh that's right, that's not his strong suit. He also briefly dives into the well-worn US SailGP team with lukewarm and predictable results. …

32:04

In today's episode, Tempesta brings you all up to speed on the progress on his "Beater" Hobie 33. First, he goes way too long explaining the obscure and odd name he chose for the boat.

I have been looking for a very specific boat and model to purchase. And I found it! We struck a deal, I was excitedly going through the fun of naming it, and what graphics/paint colors to use, and picking the race schedule, and getting crew together and, and, and... The deal got killed. The owners decided not to sell - boo! So I found a couple othe…

12M ago23:56

23:56

Oh I know - its hard to believe that your beacon of morality, me, has not told the truth.
