Are you racing in it, or are you just hanging around the dock with your
emergency rum flask in case one of the Snipes needs a little pick-me-up?

I'll be with the set-up team, and the check-in/weigh-in team. I'll be
watching the actual races from the patio.

Pulling this back to mountains - I've been sidehill Snipe hunting, both
left and right handed. (I find left-handed Snipes tougher to catch bare
handed - with a sack either left or right just catch themselves, no
sport there.)

Do these sailing Snipes only heel one way? Are there two varieties? Do
some heel only larboard and others heel only starboard?

Well, let's hope no one overweight shows up to race.

I have had a revelation. You pussies are the internet version of
snipes. Never seen, never observable in real life, mythical balls.

Not to worry. *Horvath was not in the Chi-Mac. *Neither was I. *(And the
races I was in this past sunday had the opposite problem - not enough
wind.)

The two people who drowned were from the Saginaw area; one had over 40
years of sailing experience and a bunch of Mac races under his belt.
They were found tethered to the boat, which had sunk.

Big water adventure is alot like big mountain adventure - when nature
turns nasty, even the most talented, best prepared sailor can meet his
match.

My sailing tether can be detached at either end, one handed.

There's more to this story.

Perhaps they were knocked out. It's also hard to believe that the
boat sunk. When mine is sealed up, it can't sink. But some of those
racing boats have minimal area below and are not water tight.

Vote for Romney. Repeal the nightmares.

Head trauma caused the deaths, the boat didn't sink, and they had
their sails down when the squall struck.
