Smokeshow had an hour lead at the Ducks in this year's Bayview Mac. Then a tired crew, a boat speed rabbit hole, and a stubborn refusal to just cover turned that lead into a podium finish instead of a win.

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...

Summer's here and we're cranking out sails. What a fun project, setting up a Figaro 2 for Solo Mac as a test run for the Bermuda 1-2 and Pac Cup.
