Having purchased a 1979 hull 113 with the original Farymann and a fair sail inventory for $8,000 in 2008, replaced the engine with a new Yan Mar, added a new main from Ed Kriese at Doyle, and bought a class jib, we just completed our first season racing on the Hudson River. Having a great time.
We started in crusing class to get the feel of it, and because I didn't yet have the needed crew, but we sailed a couple of regattas in racing division wher we plan to be next year. Racing is over here now, but we are still daysailing. Some of the best sailing is about now.

Fleet 10 has become reactivated on the Chesapeake Bay. We have identified 10 T-10s on the Bay with 8 actively racing. The Annapolis NOODS will be the first Regatta for the new fleet. We are asking boats going to Charleston to come up and race in the NOODS before making the trip back to the Midwest. We are also asking some of those not racing to consider jumping on a local boat for the NOODS. The goal is to help transfer some of the One-Design experience from the Great Lakes to the boats on the Bay. If you have any questions please contact me.

Hull 185 - Picaros. Believed to be the original deck finish. A white chalky substance easily rubs off on people making contact with the cockpit and deck. Is there a cleaning or surface product to apply to prevent this from happening? Perhaps it is just time for a paint job. Any recommended deck paint and hull paint to use that does not cost a fortune? Thanks - Hank R.

Can somebody measure and/or photograph their lift and cradle positions? I have a cradle that is clearly homemade, and I think the support positions are wrong. In any case, the positions are very different than the other homemade T10 cradle in our yard (which of course can also be wrong). Also, how much, if any, pressure do you put on the keel when cradled? Again, the other T10 in our yard is of little guidance, as she seems to have found a comfortable position, primarily due to sinking into the ground enough to find that position. Thanks in advance! --John

I am working with a T-10 owner on the Chesapeake Bay that is looking to let his son race the boat next year. She has been cruising for years and the sails are in fair condition for cruising but not racing. Does anyone have an old set of sails they would be willing to donate to help me get this boat up and racing again? I know what some racers might not even use for transport sails would be a step up from the current sails. I am in the process of trying to restart a T-10 fleet on the Chesapeake Bay and this is one of the boats that I have been working with. Thank you for your help.
