This worked so well last time, let's try another role.

Turns out "sailing problem" is a real qualification. Our last hire had one. Now we need one more.

Symptoms we're looking for: talking about sail inventories until people walk away, trying to convince friends they need a bigger boat, winning the regatta and then winning the debrief at the bar. If that's you, we'd like to pay you for it. Sales role, sails and J/Boats, lots of time on docks and on the water.

Why mess with a classic? Because fun is fast. The full story of Warlock, the turboed J/105 that just won its class in the Chicago Mac: from Lil Loki's light-air days to a squall-filled sleigh ride up the lake. Read it here

Why Mess With a Classic? Changing an icon of one-design racing is considered blasphemy. The J/105 has had a strong, loyal following since the first boat launched in 1991, with over 600 boats built and active one-design fleets across the country. It was revolutionary when it was new: the first produc...

What if your race result was based on the actual forecast instead of a guess?

That’s exactly what Weather Routing Scoring does, but does it actually work?

If you were wondering why your rating changed for the Chicago Mac or another major ORC race, here is the explanation.
