Designer Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 REMINDER: The B&B Messabout for 2015 is very near. It is the weekend of October 23-25. We have heard from many of you and we expect a good crowd. Because we have to have head count for food, we need to have a final tally in the next few days (by 10/19) for the Dutch-Treat Friday night dinner at Little Italy and the Saturday Luncheon put on by B&B. Please email or call Carla with your information: Name, attendance at Friday and or Saturday meals. admincarla@gmail.com or 252-745-4793; 252-670-4960 If you have mentioned it to Graham or Alan, I (Carla) may not have gotten the information, so please be sure to confirm your plans with me.

Designer Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 The first boats have arrived. Here is Jay and Carol's CS20 mk3 after their long drive from Mississipi. The new sail track will be on the masts tomorrow and then a test sail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dolfin47 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Norm Otto & son Peter will be sailing to the messabout in CS 17 #307 in "sloop" configuration with Mizzen in the "middle" mast step as the mainsail , if anyone is interested in how it sails. I have been sailing it as a sloop for the last 6 months using the staysail as jib in light winds. This week I will also see if the "mainsail" works as a jib for heavier winds. I sail out of Bath, NC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Hi Norm. So glad that you and Peter can make it back this year. Please let me know if you will be attending the meals - Friday night dinner Dutch Treat at the restaurant and Sat. luncheon by B&B. I have to let the restaurant and the caterer for Saturday know numbers by tomorrow. You can email me at admincarla@gmail.com or call me at 252 745-4793 or 252-670-4960 (mobile: so you have better chance of catching me anytime).

Joe Anderson Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Norm Great to hear you are going to be at the MessAbout. Sally and I are planning on sailing out of Chapel Creek on Tuesday 10/20 returning Thursday pm or Friday am. We may head up to Mouse Harbor. Will you sail from North Creek to the MessAbout? We are looking forward to seeing you and Peter and your new sail configuration. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan0 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hi all, I'll be a newbie at this mess-about. I've been mostly lurking on this site for the past six-months or so, although I have posted a couple of times. Currently live in Tallahassee, FL but planning on moving up to eastern North Carolina now that I've retired. I'm interested in the Core Sound Mk3's. My main reason for coming to the mess-about is to actually see whether I can comfortably fit into a berth on a CS17, but have a feeling the CS20 would fit me better. (I'm a big boy -- currently 6' 01", 270 lbs.) Hoping I can try a berth in each of these and also spend sometime on the water with someone. I'm currently boatless, having gotten rid of my heavy 20' cat-ketch here in Florida and looking forward to starting a new boat after moving.

Steve W Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Dan, I shared your concerns. I honed in right away on the CS20.3 only because of sitting headroom. I had a chance to see Carlita when I picked up my kit and to me the 17 seems quite a bit smaller. I'm 6'0 and I posted a picture in the CS 20 MArk 3 thread showing me sitting against the bulkhead in Doug's 20 and I think you will be all right, but I wouldn't want to be 6'2". I'm jealous you are going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Silsbe Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 I'm having a great time at the Messabout! Can't wait for tomorrow's fun. Here are a couple of photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Stewart Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 There are some on the facebook page. For some reason, i think everyone was having so much fun this year that not as many pictures were taken as they could have been. Prove me wrong! https://www.facebook.com/groups/288804334653596/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwbaginski Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 same problem, I'm not facebooked. I would be interested particulary in pictures of Lapwing, if a Lapwing attended. Congratulations on a great messabout, anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stewart Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Here is a link to some of the better ones from Graham's Camera. https://picasaweb.google.com/107469640725598007206/2015BBMessabout?authuser=0&feat=directlink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Potts Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Thanks Alan! Looks like a lot of fun. It's good to see a mizzen staysail flying too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Anderson Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I always learn something new at the Mess-about. Here Peter demonstrates the preferred method for stepping a mast on his P28R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Tiger Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I believe that technique is the old High-Stepping the mast. That looks loads of fun. Waaay over there. Is that warm saltwater, too? Sigh. It must be wonderful to have so many people in one place appreciating and utilizing your life's work. Cheers to you all!

Steve W Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Great pictures and motivation. I'm back working a fair amount on my CS20 mark 3 and seeing how sweet Jay's boat looks is great motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
