OK OK, It's dark, it's late, it's Saturday night....
Do you really know where your boat is headed?


Some boats have their own 'deviant impulses...'

Kudos to Tig Spijkers, SLCG, and Tig's "Ocean Racers" group!
I found out today that Yachting World included a start line photo of Tig's fleet in an article they are about to publish.
!!
I'm sure many others images will be included, but woots, its a nice tribute to Tig and some truly great sailors.
Please help me ID all the skippers below!

Unfortunately, it would seem that majority of these sailors are either not in the sail ID registry.

#? - SLCG-badged JMO-60... looks like Tig.

#11 - RCJ-44 with a male skipper... I've seen that hull before, but I don't recall who had it.

#37 - Duracell JMO-60... didn't Garrick Diesel have the Duracell hulls?

#01 - Largely hidden RCJ-44...

#81 - Stock RCJ-44... might be Glorfindel Arrow, based on sail ID.

#75 - Irish flag RCJ-44... is probably Becky Baroque, but I can't confirm the sail ID.

#47 - SLCG-badged RCJ-44... is probably Colin Nemeth, but I don't know if he ever sailed a 44. Might be Kryten Meriman, who's registered with #47.

#42 - Stock RCJ-44... two people on the boat. Looks like a man and a woman.

#48 - Battleship grey ACA33

#? - JMO-60... is that a Tradewinds logo?

Naeve, every 44 sailor worth his or her salt are in the 44 class association registry. When I founded it I only got rather confusing answers to wether or not non-takos are included in the SLSA registry. The format (3 digits only, no letters) seems incomparable or sumsuch. Please remind me to send you the latest copy.
And this photo is probably a bit older, showing RCJ-44 1st generation boats with 2-digits IDs. However, Garrick used to be the Duracell bunny, yeah. Dunno if he used the Duracell logo on the 60 as well.

Wow... thank you thank you thank you Naeve and Orcs... Let's get Tig's input too, she prolly recalls what we forget.
I bet I can go back to that day and look at the 'nearby' list of names in chat, also.
My dim recall of the image is thatTig was about to lead the Ocean Racing fleet around Gaeta when I snapped the pic...
Grin... "Ocean Racers" often set sail on courses most thought were impossible.

As we all know, sailors have done that sort of thing in real life, now and for eons past...
I think it's nice that SL's digital fleet gets credit here from the RL ("analog?") sailing community.
