The "BoatBites" have been barely a nibble... it's been a busy Summer! What can I say, except all those "robots" posting Chinese or Japaneses or whatever language it is, seriously, go post your "comments" elsewhere!
The "bites" will return when I return to Europe in the Winter to keep tabs on my dear friends Nicola and Ryan Breymaier. If you haven't been reading, and since I've not been writing, it's a decent chance you may have missed my passion for the Barcelona World Race and Ryan's entry.
This blog will regain some life when I hop on the plane to Spain later this year. Till then, please follow Ryan's journey! He has one sweet title sponsor, which will be something to write about! An American sailor with a solid sponsor?!? You can name those on one hand!
Fair Winds!

Seahorse Magazine: June 2010 Teaser!
Why do you pick up a magazine? The pretty cover? Or, sick content?
Content baby!
The June issue of Seahorse is well packed with editorial and super light on the advertorial, a relief compared to the choices on the new-stands here in the states!
A teaser:
After the worldwide one-design success of the J/105, J/Boats decided that it was time for something a little more modern... Stu Johnstone explains
What started as a gleam in the eye of a longterm J/Boat owner has finally evolved into the J/111… our next-generation state-of-the-art one-design. This particular owner is an archetypal ‘J/sailor’, having learnt how to race on J/24s in the late 1970s and progressed through J/22s, J/105s and J/100s at his summer home in Auckland, New Zealand. The idea is simple: get back to the basics, dream up the best all-around sailing boat possible, pure in its form, elegant in its execution and just damn fun to sail. Take the best characteristics from successful J/35, J/105 and J/109 one-design classes, dial in some J/90 and J/125 speed along with current thinking on hull and rig designs to create the optimum dual purpose boat in the 35-foot range. To ensure support and further fine-tune the brief, the initial concept was also bounced off the worldwide J/Boat community of 65+ dealers, sailmakers and prospects, as well as many of the 1,000-plus owners of existing larger J/Boat one-designs. That consensus design brief has become the J/111.
