SV Pisces: September 2010

Monday, September 20, 2010 | Author: Jacob

This weekend we sailed a regatta onboard a Moore 24, Frecklebelly Madtom. We were really holding down the bottom of the fleet, but had a great time nonetheless. Saturday was a light wind day and we only got in two races, that night we went out and partied with the NW Moore 24 fleet, a really great group of people. Sunday we had much better breeze to about 20kts at times, and we got in 4 races.

Julia did foredeck both days and has some really outstanding bruises.

Decision Chart

Thursday, September 02, 2010 | Author: Jacob

We found this Decision Chart in the book Antarctica by Kim Stanley Robinson while delivering Coyote home. It proved invaluable taped above the nav station and we recommend a copy be kept aboard every boat.

Pisces is a Jason 35 cutter sailboat, designed by Ted Brewer, as an ocean-going double-ender with a modified full keel (with a "Brewer bite").

Pisces' hull was laid in 1979 by Miller Marine in Bainbridge Washington. The hull then floated around until being purchased by Gary and Susan Fisher in the mid 1990's. Over the next 5 or so years they lovingly built (and rebuilt) Pisces in the Southern California desert.

We purchased her in Jan. 2007 in Oxnard California, brought her back to San Francisco, and are now cruising ports South.
