Oracle 1 (technically 0 as they have 2 penalty points to work off).

It's not over yet but it looks like the Americas cup is heading back to NZ.

My friend decided to park his boat in his yard. His tenant had a sweet 16 party for her daughter and put the grill to close to the boat. I saved all the metal parts in case he decides to get another boat.

Did you strip the parts before or after the fire?
I picked them up off the driveway. Some of the melty globs were still warm, The trailer seems fine after I knocked off some of the melty globs. I am not sure what happened to the mast. It is just gone.....

To qualify I will miss this boat very much. It was a 36' Catalina. Based on the kit it was about 50 years old. It was smooth, fast, and fun to sail for a plastic boat.

I have to finish setting up my winter spar. No boat any more, just a mooring.
That's a fiscally responsible set up.

Mine's kept in a tidal river so no winter stick is needed.
Rare to see the harbors freeze here anyway, lately at least.
