My Hand




Thanks to the wonders of video technology, the RC at Massapoag YC were filming the races yesterday. Here they got a really cool shot of my hand on the gunwale.

I've gotta hand it to you, you're more old school than I thought...Laser 7812! Must've been the oldest one out there.

Gripping stuff indeed

What is that long photo in the cockpit? Racing rules?

Tillerman said...

Well spotted JP. Great question. That is a 1995 Laser and at that time the manufacturer was trying various ways to decorate the boats. This one had psychedelic stickers inside the cockpit and on the hull. I removed the ones on the hull years ago - they were getting scuffed - but the ones in the cockpit are still there. The smaller sticker to the left of the long one is actually a key to racing flag signals (which I hardly ever consult.)

If that is a 1995 Laser hull, your sail number should be between 155823 and 158264. No? Even if it is a previously-owned Intensity sail?

Tillerman said...

Correct Doc. My sail number is 157812. But as I bought this sail for practice and for racing with the Newport Laser Fleet, and as that fleet only records the last 4 digits of Laser sail numbers when scoring finishes, I only put the last 4 digits on the sail. Actually that makes me more of a nitpicker and goody-goody than many of the fleet who only use 1,2 or 3 digits.

Is it Massapo-ag, or pogue? Just curious

Tillerman said...

POG.
